...National Audubon Society has leased out gas and oil rights on its hitherto pristine Paul J. Rainey Wildlife Sanctuary in Louisiana. Washington, D.C., Attorney H. David Rosenbloom, an expert on the social aspects of investments, drew the obvious moral: "If your investments are operating to the detriment of the things for which you stand, there's a question as to how much good you're doing...
...years ago, was eight or nine when the rumor spread in his Alsatian village that a "speed-runner" was at the village inn. Schweitzer says in his charming childhood memoirs: "Today's young people can't imagine what the coming of the bicycle meant to us. A hitherto undreamed of possibility of getting into nature was opened before us, and I made full and joyous...
...four weeks since Ford spoke those words in his "State of the World" address, America's friends, allies or clients in Asia have grown increasingly alarmed as Communist forces dramatically swept through Cambodia and South Viet Nam and renewed their insurgent attacks on a hitherto quiescent Laos.

As proof, they revealed hitherto secret details of a 1971 test along the canal route. It involved the simultaneous detonation of a row of three 15-kiloton nuclear charges (compared with 20 kilotons for the Hiroshima bomb), spaced about 500 ft. apart. The blasts produced so little radiation and such stable walls that technicians were able...
