Geographically, the survey showed no significant variation between salaries of graduates going to different regions for employment. Companies in the Northeast hired 30 per cent of the pollees, and on the West Coast companies hired 8 per cent...
...rise of the industrial South has been dependent on several key factors. Federal tax and spending policies, which generally favor less-developed areas, have persistently drained wealth from the Northeast and Midwest and diverted it to the Southern states. A recent study by the National Journal, an independent publication that analyzes federal policies, found that in fiscal 1975 the states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania received $10 billion less from various Government spending programs than they paid out in taxes. The eleven states of the old Confederacy came out $8.7 billion ahead...
...such stars as Joan Sutherland, Jon Vickers and Placido Domingo in opera. Vickers returns to help open the season Nov. 5 in the rarely heard Samson by Handel. The up-and-coming Greater Miami Opera Association does not hit its stride until the sun seekers' stampede from the Northeast begins, but in its emphasis on big names and traditional works, it sometimes outdoes Dallas. Miami will open with Cesare Siepi in Boris Godunov (Jan. 17). Later on it will feature Sherrill Milnes in Macbeth (March 7), Carole Neblett, along with Domingo, in La Fanciulla del West.

They are fast rollers in the grand Southern tradition of dirt track racing: small-town versions of Rapid Roy. Up to 3,500 fans will converge on the Concord Speedway 15 miles northeast of Charlotte, N.C., on a balmy Saturday evening to watch these two "pedal-to-the-metal" drivers bump fenders as they scream around the track in their blazing fast, gloriously battered stock cars. Stick and Carl are masters of the "power slide," a dirt racing technique that requires each driver...
This week scientists are involved in a new effort to find the answer to this question. Two weeks ago Viking 2 dropped silently out of space and bumped to a landing on Mars' Utopia Planitia (plains of Utopia), some 4,600 miles east-northeast and almost halfway around the planet from Viking 1 (see map). The landing gave scientists some anxious moments. Shortly after separation from its lander, the Viking 2 orbiter lost its "lock" on the star Vega and began to roll, breaking its contact with mission controllers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif. But even...
