...local jobs. "Though it would probably create just as many," he says, "it would take at least ten to 15 years to do it." Galston's far more subtle plan calls for protecting the environment by welcoming light industry around major existing towns inland. Heavy industry would be confined to the environs of Savannah...
...rushed in big supplies of cleaning equipment. The Coast Guard launched an investigation. For one thing, most other shipping had been suspended during the fog, and the Standard tankers had no pilots. In addition state legislators introduced bills aimed at strengthening navigational and piloting safeguards in California's inland waters...
...raiders set off from Nakhon Phanom, a search-and-rescue base in Thailand. They approached their objective overland across Laos and mountainous inland North Viet Nam, a route that avoided the enemy's heaviest radar and antiaircraft defenses.

If nothing else, the raid had clearly embarrassed Hanoi by pointing up the holes in the North Vietnamese air defenses...
Still, the agency is faced with the problem of effectively policing 134,000 square miles of inland waterways with just 100 men. Their job may be impossible. For one thing, mercury is still entering U.S. waters on a dangerous scale. For another, the mercury that is already in the water will probably remain there for 50 to 100 years, and will continue to be methylized and consumed by fish. Even if mercury could somehow be scooped up, some ecologists fear that the scooping would disturb aquatic habitats more than the mercury itself. The use of chemical detergents to "clean" lakes...

It lay in a countryside of desert valleys in central Utah that 150 million years ago was a lush tropical shore along an inland sea, inhabited by huge flesh-eating dinosaurs. The area has thus yielded a rich supply of plant and animal fossils. Examining a specimen of the fossil under a microscope, Paleobotanist William D. Tidwell of Brigham Young University recognized the unmistakable cellular structure of the palm...
