No More Clean Air Breathing Helmet Era Warned
A 1980s forecast by atmospheric scientists says outdoor life may require breathing helmets in the Northern Hemisphere by 1990 if pollution continues. Ten thousand U.S. city deaths are predicted in one metro area in 1980, with widespread desertion of streets and loss of wildlife within two decades. The six year study, funded by NSFs and NIH, notes air pollution rising faster than cleansing capacity and cites near Flagstaff as the last area with clean air six years ago.

End 2 Months Of Quiet After Enemy Buildup
US B52 strikes in A Shau Valley end two months of dormancy as Hanoi forces increase activity along the Ho Chi Minh trail. The mission hit enemy camps and bunkers near Hue and Da Nang, while truck traffic down the trail rose sharply since November. Officials say the buildup mirrors cycles around past offensives, not a guaranteed Tet-style attack. Four Americans wounded as fighting remains light elsewhere in South Vietnam.
