Spokesmen say law enforcement in the Southeast may have seized as much as 700 tons of marijuana in 1977. In the last 15 days, up to 150 tons were confiscated. The rush yielded five small ships, six boats, three airplanes and dozens of arrests. No final tally yet from all agencies, but early counts suggest more was seized late in 1977 than all of 1976.

Leaning Tower of Pisa Stays Level on New Year’s Day
In Pisa Italy the Leaning Tower of Pisa remained unchanged since 1976 according to Prof Giuseppe Toniolo. Measurement since 1913 shows the 179 foot landmark still leans 17 feet from perpendicular with a slowing drift averaging about 0.5 millimeter per year from 1974 to 1976. Experts are unsure why the lean did not increase and consider base pressure on the water-bearing stratum as a possible stabilizing factor.
