...water. Withal, Tahoe is a volcanic and glacial marvel, ringed for one-third of the year by snow-dazzling mountain tops. To Mark Twain, Tahoe was a "noble sheet of blue water." In the past decade, it has faintly but frighteningly threatened to become a vast dead sea of green slime...
...Visitors. A lake dies of eutrophication, or quite simply over-nourishment. With or without humans, accumulations of sewage draining its way through the earth feeds a lake with nitrate and phosphate nutrients, the baby food of algae and plankton. Gingerly tugging the shore line at first, these willowy green growths are the stuff that giant, billowing swamps are later made of. After a few centuries or a millennium, a meadow sits where a lake once sparkled. In his wanton, willful way, man can speed up this process to mere decades...
...seven years as coach of the Green Bay Packers, Vince Lombardi, 53, has won 105 games and lost only 31. He has forgotten most of the 105. But, ah, those 31.

...Stars won the toss of the coin and elected to receive. That was a mistake. On the very first play from scrimmage, Alabama Quarterback Steve Sloan fumbled the ball, Lionel Aldridge recovered for Green Bay, and Packer Quarterback Bart Starr flipped an 11-yd. touchdown pass to End Boyd Dowler. After that, the only question was how big the score would be. Fullback Jim Taylor scored two TDs for the Packers, Starr threw for still another, and alert Green Bay defenders picked off two passes...
