Abstract:
Found off the coast of North Carolina, the feared barracuda generally haunt the wreckage of ships. Many of the wrecks are old blockade runners sunk during the War Between the States, others more recent wrecks, such as the petroleum tanker Esso Nashville, sunk by a German U-boat during World War II. Sports fishermen enjoy the aggressive, energetic movements of the barracuda as they skip bait across the water, catching specimens at times weighing more than forty pounds.

Abstract:
Since the construction of 41,000 miles of super highways now links the nation in the form of an Interstate Highway System, the average citizen should be concerned with ways to attain income through its use. Recently, American Trucking Association (ATA) researchers set out to discover the potential of garnering income by studying representative sections of the new highway. In North Carolina, researchers studied a 33.3-mile section of highway, concluding it not only pays its own way, but returns an annual profit of $893,093.
