...nation's land lord, the overseer of the 540 million acres that the Government holds in trust for the people. The post has become increasingly important as environment and energy have grown into major and often conflicting American concerns. It is the Interior Secretary who decides how to develop federal resources with the least ecological damage-especially the needed oil, coal and shale-oil reserves on public lands. President Gerald Ford recently picked a new Secretary: Stanley K. Hathaway, 50, the former Republican Governor of Wyoming, who immediately ran into so much flak that he must have thought...
With an expanding tax base, plus the oil taxes and royalties, Alaska will finally have an opportunity to develop further its enormous natural resources. The state's challenge will be to find much more orderly ways of tapping its large reserves of fluoride and tungsten, rich deposits of copper, iron ore and zinc, plus at least 1 trillion tons of coal-enough to supply the U.S. for about 1,800 years at current consumption rates...
When he failed to improve after the Mets traded him to the Angels following the 1971 season, Ryan nearly quit the game. Angel Pitching Coach Ted Morgan (now with San Diego) urged his frustrated pupil to slow his delivery.

Their problem is a pervasive, urgent one, both for the old and for their children. America as a society has yet to develop a practical, human policy for dealing with the woes of old age in a modern world. For those elderly Americans who can still manage-both physically and financially-life goes on much as it always has. But for those who cannot manage, the end of life, or at least of life as most people would want to live it, can be an agony. About a million, or 5%, of the nation's elderly already live...
...This view of student participation in the Institute contradicts almost all of the early conceptions of the Institute. The "Report of the Faculty Committee on Afro-American Studies" (January, 1969) states that the "Center should, like the Institute of Politics, have a student advisory board." The Standing Committee to Develop the Afro-American Studies Department reports in September of 1969 that "the Institute will be overseen by a Visiting Committee of the Board of Overseers and a Faculty-Student Committee." The "Prospectus" from the Afro-American Studies Department's Three-year Report (October, 1972) plainly states that the Faculty-Student...
