got it!
Just had a package from Australia with a copy of 'Future' magazine issue #6, with the interview 'Living with Dragons'.
 A little further on in the mag is an essy looking at Sen. John Briggs who was endevouring to introduce an anti-homo bill in California which not only would have made it illegal for any same-sex oriented person to teach within the state, but would also have banned any books that treated same-sex relationships in a favourable light. Anne's books are mentioned as being on the danger list along with books by leGuinn, Silverberg, Herbert, Clarke, Heinlein, Pohl and Bradley.

Re: got it!
There's an article on alternate energy sources (wind, tide, solar and geo) and one on global warming. And this was 1978!

Re: got it!
hmmm.... CAT (Centre for Alternative Technology) opened in 1974. It's just that society did not listen at all for thirty odd years!
