...grateful for your interest in clean water and in helping to make the public aware of areas of pollution [Aug. 1]. However, as mayor of the city of Erie, I take exception to your inference that all of Lake Erie is a cesspool. We are a tourist area, and Erie's beaches and boating facilities are open, and have been open for many years. Last year more than three and one-half million people visited Erie's Presque Isle State Park. Sixty lifeguards man eleven beaches on the park. These beaches are tested weekly by the state...
Many of the Cosa Nostra's legitimate business fronts were acquired when the owner could not pay his debt. Some public officials were acquired in the same manner. Over his head in various business deals, James Marcus, the former Water Commissioner of New York City, took a loan at 104% annual interest.

A third retaliatory raid silenced Jordanian heavy artillery near the Dead...
...Atlantic coast in the Gulf Stream. Piccard and his five companions spoke of massive undersea waves caused by the swirling of the Gulf Stream's powerful current around uncharted "hills" on the ocean floor. Their 140-ton craft was helplessly tossed about in the rush of water and actually shoved 28 miles west-out of the stream. They were nearly as surprised by what seemed to be huge coral formations at an unprecedented depth of 1,700 feet-indicating that the coastline around Charleston, S.C., once lay 70 miles farther out in the Atlantic...
