...Sioux's Pine Ridge Reservation. There the AIM members and sympathizers, many of them fullblood Indians, want to depose Tribal President Richard Wilson and his mostly mixed-blood followers. At week's end many AIM members were gathering at Pine Ridge to participate in a traditional Sioux sun dance, an occasion that held the danger of further violence. In any event, it is clear that the problem of Indian protest is still far from solved...
From coast to coast, the summer sun is ripening record harvests of wheat, corn, oranges, apples, but, as any American housewife knows only too well, the price for those harvests is inexorably climbing. Overall, the price of food rose 1.2% during July, the government announced last week, pushing the Wholesale Price Index up at a stunning rate (see ECONOMY & BUSINESS). Beans, lettuce and other fresh vegetables were up 12% in some areas, while the overall increase in farm products, including hogs and poultry, was 6.6%. The reasons for these increases were intricate, but many Americans focused their anxiety and anger...
...park nestles in the northernmost Sierras at 4,000 ft. above sea level and 80 miles north of Lake Tahoe. Glacier-carved granite peaks rise above the timberline marked by noble stands of ponderosa, Jeffrey and sugar pine; Eureka and Madora lakes sparkle in the summer sun, which even in August has not melted the mountain snows. Jamison Creek, running fast and clear through the park, is alive with half-pound rainbow and brook trout. Campers looking for more strenuous recreation backpack into lake-dotted Plumas National Forest, which offers good deer hunting; black bears, cougars, mountain lions and bobcats...
...wrappings. That is because plastics resist natural processes of decay almost indefinitely. To make the material go away when it is thrown away, scientists in Germany have developed a type of plastic that disintegrates when exposed to the ultraviolet rays in sunlight. But it has a hitch: the sun does not distinguish between unopened plastic containers and discards...
...disposal of radioactive wastes and the difficulties of safeguarding plutonium. Rather than take these nuclear risks, the scientists advised the Federal Government to: 1) start a strict energy conservation program; 2) develop nonpolluting ways of mining and burning coal; and 3) work toward using "the energy from the sun, the winds, the tides and the heat in the earth's crust." All this is familiar stuff, but the large number of concerned scientists-about 20% of those whose signatures were solicited-may lend new weight to the recommendations...
