Waterway Transportation's Pivotal Role in Nation and Region
George Horne of The New York Times highlights Inland waterway freight growth since World War II. The vast system carries nearly 10 percent of national city shipments, moves almost 500 million tons of barged cargo yearly, and supports a modern, efficient towboat fleet. The Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway's completion is seen as boosting regional Gulf access and growth.

Towboat economics and river traffic face new rules
Rivermen resist bureaucratic controls that threaten efficiency and raise costs as licensing, inspections, and manning rules loom. Industry notes 25 000 miles navigable waterway with 80 000 workers, 1 700 companies, and vast shipments of steel, grain, and chemicals across the Mississippi system. The piece contrasts conscience versus public opinion and cites Elizabeth Taylor’s jewelry woes in a Knoxville News Sentinel note.

Tire Industry Pushes Publicity Over Safety Campaign
A 425000 dollar Tire Industry Safety Council campaign aims to polish the industry's image while lobbying Congress to ease safety rules. The effort, funded by per tire charges, grew from Akron talks among Rubber Manufacturers Association leaders and executives seeking to blunt consumer advocates and Nader. The plan includes press trips and targeted lobbying, with focus on safer tire testing and recalls.
