...than preservation, and reform has already come to the park system. "That report might have had some credibility two years ago, but not today," says Yellowstone Superintendent Jack Anderson. Take Yosemite, once the most troubled park of all. In 1970 the lovely, steep-walled valley was choked with auto exhaust and campfire smoke, and so overcrowded, says Ranger Bill Whalen, that "camping was tent-peg to tent-peg." Long-haired kids noisily sought kicks from nature-with a little help from drugs. On July 4, 1970, pot-smoking youths clashed with armed police in the first riot ever...

In the words of Robert Benchley: "Ain't it offal?" And even these ingredients do not exhaust the bad news.

The lab wing contains four levels of usable lab space topped by two levels of machinery for ventilation and exhaust of chemical furnes...

For reasons that still mystify technicians, one or two of the 138 knife-shaped blades in the engine's second-stage turbine may be breaking off in flight and whizzing out the exhaust in showers of tiny metal slivers. The breakoff is so silent that neither passengers nor flight crew notice it, and because it does not lead to fires or loss of power, it usually goes undiscovered until ground technicians check the plane. The engine troubles have caused no dangerous mishaps...
