They asked “Where can we put it” when brought to court Judge Miles lord ordered a shutdown and was promptly replaced. Bottled water was issued by the gallon in the Duluth area Legislators made it apparent that industry was more important than health. Snowmobilers were enraged when a snowmobile ban was proposed for the BWCA Avid snowmobile fans believe the law would put a damper on their fun. but environmentalists applauded the action, saying the BWCA should be left natural'' with no noisy polluting machines ruining the area. Seventeen and eighteen year olds were disgusted at the proposed nineteen year old drinking law. State legislators said high school drinking was rising because eighteen year olds can supply minors with booze, and some seniors were eating their lunch m local bars. In the rest of Minnesota, this was probably true, but not in Virginia This law would punish those eighteen year olds who go in bars not to drink, but |ust to be where everyone else is. Eighteen year olds should not be punished for what younger kids illegally consume. The year was one of change at our dear school, and change often brings complaints.

After thirty years of conflict in which millions lost their kves. the Wai m Indochina came to an end The peace wasn't peaceful. Within weeks. Communist forces stormed over Viet Nam. smashed its army, forced the resignation of President Thieu and drove out the last Americans. War took many lives in Northern Ireland and the Middle East, and young American men grew uneasy at the thought of a renewed draft to assist Angola One major undertaking proved to strengthen a weak bond between the USA and the USSR, the Apollo-Soyuz Test Project. The orbital link-up of a Russian Soyuz and an American Apollo, flawlessly executed, was an aid to detente. US astronauts were even made to seem like heroes in the Soviet Union.
