Abstract:
Car and coal-fired power plants account for all of the state's ozone causing nitrogen oxide. To remedy this, the North Carolina General Assembly passed the Ambient Air Quality Improvement Act of 1999. The law expands the current automobile emissions testing program and the number of counties using the program. By 2006, forty-eight counties having 80 percent of all the cars and trucks on the state's roads will be required to use this emissions test. The law is not without its detractors, however.

Abstract:
East Carolina University's visitation policy on when men and women could visit each other in their dorm rooms sparked a ten-week campus protest in the spring of 1971. Students wanted the rules loosened. When the administration moved too slowly, student protests began. Police made arrests. Robert Thonen, editor of the student newspaper was expelled for permitting a letter to be published which used a well-known four-letter word directed toward the university president. Thonen's legal case resulted in a landmark court ruling on free speech in student newspapers. The protest was finally resolved. Tuttle includes a “Where are they now?†section about some of the student protestors. Several are lawyers, one is a preacher, and one was awarded the Pulitzer Prize. Thonen had a long career with the Defense Department.
