...Ohio boy who was All-America at Kent State, Munson was part of the Yankees' long and impressive catching tradition-Bill Dickey, Yogi Berra and Elston Howard. Munson became a major leaguer after only 99 games in the minors. He justified the Yankees' gamble by hitting .302 and winning Rookie of the Year honors in 1970.

Environmentally concerned legislators in the House last week were scrambling to gain support...
...Congress was to halt and reverse the trend toward extinction." In dissent, Justice Lewis Powell noted dryly that this meant vital federal projects would have to be canceled if they "threaten some endangered cockroach." Indeed, the decision could affect at least eleven other projects, including the proposed $690 million Dickey-Lincoln Dam in Maine, which would endanger the Furbish lousewort, a rare plant that resembles the snapdragon...
