Chesapeake Bay Critical Areas Rules Spark Farm Debate
Maryland officials led by Governor Harry Hughes push a 1986 plan to restore the Chesapeake Bay with a 15 million initial year budget and a Critical Areas Commission to set shoreline controls. The rules would curb development, ban clear cutting within 1000 feet of shore, require farm buffers, and likely cost farmers millions, triggering hearings and legislative battles as arguments over economic impact and enforcement shape the debate.

The Illusion of Drug Education in Illinois Schools
Phyllis Schlafly criticizes a district's drug education curriculum for 514 pages, noting about 100 on drugs and none telling children not to use illegal drugs. She traces lessons from kindergarten to eighth grade, highlighting focus on feelings, choices, and social acceptance rather than moral or legal positions. The piece argues the program normalizes drug use by ninth grade, citing examples from classroom activities and the inclusion of substances like vitamins and caffeine.
