Echelle spectroscopy reported in the literature has provided evidence that the element oxygen is heterogeneously distributed within globular clusters. Star-to-star differences in the oxygen abundance have been identified in the clusters M92, M3, and M13 and found to be accompanied by an O-N abundance anticorrelation. Such observations indicate that the material within the atmospheres and envelopes of the N-rich or CN-strong giants in these clusters has been processed through the CNO bicycle of hydrogen burning. It is shown that the occurrence of variable amounts of interior O yields N processing within metal-poor globular-cluster red giants, such as those in M3 and M13, can also reconcile two other of the observed properties of these stars, namely the existence of a CN-C abundance anticorrelation yet substantial (C/Fe) depletions.
