Abstract:
In the 1940s, the people living on what is now the North Shore of Fontana Lake and the southern boundary of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park were forced out by the federal government for the construction of a Tennessee Valley Authority hydroelectric project. The federal government promised the displaced people roads to their old area. Roads would have allowed the original settlers' descendants easy access to family cemeteries. The roads were never built. People still visit the gravesites, despite having to travel to them by four-wheel drive vehicles and boats.

Abstract:
The United States military participates in a yearly joint exercise called Solid Shield. This exercise began in 1963 and occurs along the North Carolina coast and includes Camp Lejeune and Fort Bragg. The operation in 1983 included every branch of the American military and over 47,000 soldiers. The exercise has evolved over the years and currently is based on the scenario that a friendly nation is being subjected to outside intervention from a third country resulting in governmental instability. The military's objective is to offer military assistance and restore order for the friendly government. The author observes Solid Shield from the deck the U.S.S.
