...Hawaii, and a drive will be launched in 132 U.S. law schools to recruit top students as pleaders for the poor. The biggest single grant ($872,851) will go for 18 additional lawyers and five new offices on the Window Rock Navajo reservation, which spreads over parts of three Southwestern states-and now has only two lawyers for its 96,000 Indians...
...little town of St. George, which likes to boast that "this is where the sun spends the winter," sits astride U.S. Highway 91 in southwestern Utah-and directly in the path of southwest winds blowing from the AEC's Nevada test site for underground atomic explosions, 140 miles away. Time and again since 1952, much of Utah, and especially St. George, has been showered with at least 100 and perhaps 1,000 times more radioactivity than the U.S. average.

...year in Scotland, say friends, also buffed down Bill Meyers' Texas twang. After Edinburgh and a three-month, 12,000-mile tour of Western Europe, Moyers entered Fort Worth's Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. However, long before he won his bachelor of divinity degree in 1959, he was beginning to worry that he and the church were mismatched. "I wanted to invest my talents in the broadest possible river," he says, "and I felt that journalism and public affairs were wider and faster flowing than the ministry." When he graduated, despite his conviction that the ministry...
