...staters who can't find work often resort to crime, which has skyrocketed since construction began in '73, in order to afford the state's high costs of living. Pipeline jobs are getting scarcer now, with about 10 miles of construction left in the northern sections of the Truneau Bay area. However, plans for a natural gas pipeline on the scale of the oil pipeline have already been drafted...
...finest are unable to stop it. Enter Harry Callahan (Clint Eastwood), the cop whose record of solved cases is equalled only by the list of brutality complaints filed against him. Ninety minutes, umpteen bodies and two or three episodes of debauchery later, the case is solved and the Bay City is safe once again. The particulars vary from flick to flick (the enemies were crooked cops in Magnum Force, young revolutionaries in The Enforcers), but the cliched plot remains the same...
...extraordinary present, for sure. The Smithsonian, otherwise known as "the nation's attic," has created a paean to the daring imaginations of the Wright brothers, Goddard, Lindbergh, Rickenbacker, Sikorsky, Earhart, Douglas and Lockheed's Johnson. The scene stealers are located in three giant bays (each 124 ft. by 115 ft. by 62 ft. high). In the main entrance bay-the Milestones of Flight Gallery-are the Wrights' Kitty Hawk Flyer, the first aircraft to achieve manned, powered flight, and the Spirit of St. Louis, in which Charles Lindbergh, need anyone be reminded, flew the Atlantic solo...
...detergents used to disperse it. Spills closer to shore can have much more dramatic effects. Large numbers of fish, shellfish, crustaceans and marine worms were killed almost immediately when a barge capsized and spilled over 200,000 gal. of oil into Buzzards Bay, off Falmouth, Mass., in 1969. Eighteen months later, scientists from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution reported that the oil was still spreading along the bottom at 40-ft. depths, covering more than 5,000 acres offshore and polluting 500 acres of tidal rivers and marshes...
...reason is that BP has huge interests in the world's two most exciting sources of new crude, Alaska and the North Sea. The BP-Sohio partnership has leased the largest chunk (its proven reserves: 5.1 billion bbl.) of Prudhoe Bay fields on Alaska's North Slope. According to an agreement between the two companies, as the flow of Alaskan oil increases so will BP's share in Sohio, rising from 26% now to 51%, probably some time next year. In the North Sea, BP's wells are expected to produce more than 650,000 bbl. a day by 1980?...
