...overlooked runoff pollution in setting standards for water quality. Meanwhile, the nation's coasts are subject to the jurisdiction of a bewildering (and often conflicting) array of governmental bodies. One prime example of this confusion, reports TIME Houston Bureau Chief Richard Woodbury, is found in North Carolina's Albemarle-Pamlico region. There both the federal Food and Drug Administration and a state agency regulate the harvesting of shellfish. A third agency, the state's health department, surveys and samples the water and shellfish. And another state body sets the guidelines for opening or closing shellfish beds.

...should anyone be moved to anger by the educational plans of a 19-year-old black kid from a small town on the sandy banks of the Pamlico River? Because North Carolina is basketball country, that's why. It is a state where few issues besides tobacco prices and Joe Califano's antismoking campaign can generate as much passionate controversy as basketball.

Born along the Pamlico River in rural Beaufort County, she was the oldest of nine children; her parents were divorced while she was young. She attended high school in South Orange, N.J., and Philadelphia, where she had relatives. She returned to Washington to get her diploma, but quit when school officials insisted that she repeat a year. She worked as a sheet-rock finisher, making up to $275 a week, but was arrested twice in 1973 on charges that included shoplifting and carrying a concealed rifle...
...would admit was that Squadron 5F under Lieut.-Commander Donald M. Carpenter was flying to Panama- purely routine. Few hours later the Press, already excited by the naval mobilization in Cuban waters headlined: SIX NAVY PLANES ON MYSTERY HOP. Into the Naval Bureau of Aeronautics crackled their progress-over Pamlico Sound, passing the western tip of Cuba, over Grand Cayman. Not until Panama was the nearest land would the Bureau admit that Squadron 5F was out for the world's record for a non-stop flight-in-formation. After 25 hr. of methodical flight, five of the 5F sextet...
