Birthrate rises in US but growth still near zero
Provisional HEW figures show the birth rate at 15.3 per 1000 in 1977, up from 14.8 in 1976, the first rise since 1970 yet experts say US birth trends imply a near steady 2.1 children per woman and possible zero population growth by mid century. Rep Charles Diggs, a 24 year House veteran and founder of the Congressional Black Caucus, is indicted on charges he received kickbacks totaling over 101000 by granting raises to staff, with a grand jury accusing him of defrauding the government. Government officials note many late model cars still run on leaded fuel despite guidance to use unleaded fuel.
