More than a century after it inspired Longfellow, the northernmost of the Great Lakes still lives up to the poet's praise. The world's largest expanse of fresh water, Lake Superior has managed to maintain much of its purity because it has attracted relatively few polluting industries. An exception: the Reserve Mining Co.'s ore-processing plant at Silver Bay, Minn., dumps 67,000 tons of pulverized taconite waste, or "tailings," into the lake every...
Whereas President Nixon spoke of the need to safeguard the individual rights of the Indochinese in his October 11 plan, his administration was not concerned that the removal of civilians on their own "free will" from northernmost to southernmost South Vietnam--which began in late October--would hinder a positive response from Hanoi to his peace plan.

During the 1968 presidential campaign, Wallace carried the three northernmost congressional districts in the state; overall, he ran barely 50,000 votes behind Hubert Humphrey. Notes Senator Scoop Jackson: "Northern Florida is Southern and southern Florida is Northern...
TIME Correspondent Karsten Prager, based in San Francisco, journeyed to Alaska for a look at the nation's biggest, frostiest state. He stopped in Barrow, the northernmost city in the U.S., 330 miles above the Arctic Circle. He found it in some ways startlingly unusual, in others oddly like any other American town of its size...
