...pipeline project would have sharply reduced the problems, but California's superardent environmental officials yelped that it would befoul Long Beach harbor with oil spills and seriously worsen the local smog problem, because merely unloading the oil would release hydrocarbon fumes into the atmosphere. Among other requirements. Sohio had to agree to achieve a net reduction in air pollution by paying $78 million to install antipollution gear at a Long Beach utility plant...
...Soviet counterploys prompted U.S. concern that Moscow might want to establish a permanent port of call at Cam Ranh Bay, the sparkling white-sand harbor northeast of Saigon that served as the main U.S. Navy base in the Viet Nam War. Having rights to Cam Ranh would give the Soviets a dramatic new naval advantage and would pose a potential threat to Chinese and Western shipping lanes, especially Japan's petroleum lifeline through the Strait of Malacca. But with no overt Soviet moves by week's end, Western observers remained hopeful that Hanoi's independent-minded leaders...
...doctrinal attitude toward children-for or against-is not the prevailing approach of most Americans.

Or stay at home, listening to the slapping halyards, creaking hull, bird cries and the whisper of the evening tide...
...limited growth, increased tourism and light industry-will be over the use of 100 acres of the old naval station that will be transferred to city control within a year. It includes the island's best stretch of beach and has the potential for a fine deep-water harbor. A portion, including Harry Truman's old winter White House, will be preserved as a park and historical site, but most of the naval-station property will be leased or sold to developers...
