Biologist Stewart Fefer and three colleagues from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service had eagerly anticipated their assignment: a trip to Laysan, a 960-acre island about 1,000 miles northwest of Honolulu. They were to study some of the 14 million seabirds that nest there, and they looked forward to their stay on what they assumed would be an island paradise with pristine beaches. What they discovered came as a shock. The sands of Laysan were strewed with an unbelievable variety of plastic trash. While doing his bird-watching chores, Fefer cataloged thousands of pellets as well...
...HONOLULU--Deposed President Ferdinand Marcos indicated in a telephone conversation with President Reagan that he would like to return to power in the Philippines, but Reagan "said nothing to encourage him," a senior U.S. official said yesterday...

The new home offers little of the imperial style to which the dethroned couple is accustomed: more than 50,000 cars a day roar along a four-lane highway just outside the house, while sundry beachcombers, joggers and fishermen can peer at the grounds from the nearby beach. One novel feature, however, may remind the exiles of their old Manila home. Within 24 hours of the Marcoses relocation, picketers appeared...
