...opponents quipped that it would be cheaper to pave the Arkansas than to dam it. Yet the project is now three-fourths completed. Eventually, 17 locks and dams (the biggest named for Kerr) will create a 446-mile skein of lakes running clear down to the Mississippi near Yancopin, Ark., forming a barge channel nine feet deep and at least 150 feet wide...
Equal Fire. Though Wallace had hitherto spent most of his time attacking Democratic liberals, last week he finally turned equal fire on the G.O.P.

Villagers labor for months to produce a panoramic Nativity scene for display during the Christmas season. Girard has assembled 200 Mexican figures which would originally have served as background in Nativity scenes, into one tableau. It portrays the busy market that thrives in any village on a fiesta day. To add a contemporary note, he even introduced...
