  FUSE ultraviolet spectra of 8 giant and supergiant stars reveal that high
temperature (3 X 10^5 K) atmospheres are common in luminous cool stars and
extend across the color-magnitude diagram from Alpha Car (F0 II) to the cool
giant Alpha Tau (K5 III). Emission present in these spectra includes
chromospheric H-Lyman Beta, Fe II, C I, and transition region lines of C III, O
VI, Si III, Si IV. Emission lines of Fe XVIII and Fe XIX signaling temperatures
of ~10^7 K and coronal material are found in the most active stars, Beta Cet
and 31 Com. A short-term flux variation, perhaps a flare, was detected in Beta
Cet during our observation. Stellar surface fluxes of the emission of C III and
O VI are correlated and decrease rapidly towards the cooler stars, reminiscent
of the decay of magnetically-heated atmospheres. Profiles of the C III (977A)
lines suggest that mass outflow is underway at T~80,000 K, and the winds are
warm. Indications of outflow at higher temperatures (3 X 10^5K) are revealed by
O VI asymmetries and the line widths themselves. High temperature species are
absent in the M-supergiant Alpha Ori. Narrow fluorescent lines of Fe II appear
in the spectra of many giants and supergiants, apparently pumped by H Lyman
Alpha, and formed in extended atmospheres. Instrumental characteristics that
affect cool star spectra are discussed.
