Industrial Development in South Carolina A Paradox
A South Carolina opinion piece argues industrial growth brings payrolls but risks blight and shifted living standards. It urges careful selection of industries, criticizes the State Development Board, and notes Gov. Edwards calling for renewed board vigor and accountability. The piece ends with a digressive anomaly about welfare letters to deceased Illinois recipients.

FDA inaction on saccharin cancer risks alarms officials
Washington The FDA ignores strong animal study signals that saccharin may cause cancer and delays warnings until at least 1978. Sources compare FDA inaction to Red Dye No 2 bans while critics accuse the agency of prioritizing corporate interests over public health. A parallel case involves aspartame and alleged data manipulation by G D Searle, now under scrutiny by a grand jury, with further controversy over independent testing funded by the company. The Alaska pipeline probe also reveals inspector intimidation concerns and political friction with Rep. Dingell’s panel.
