...gallon-a-day plant on the Gulf of California in the 1980s. By that time, the cost of desalting water could be cut to 100 per 1,000 gallons. Speaking over the noisy hum of Key West's desalting plant last week, Vice President Hubert Humphrey ventured a bold prediction. With such breakthroughs, he said, desalination will eventually yield benefits "as great as those bestowed by the development of electricity...
...ABCs. Apart from scenery, architecture and art, there are also glimpses of the formidable Soviet system that Americans have talked, read and worried about for more than a generation. Some U.S. visitors feel that they are embarked on a bold expedition. "Hello, there, everyone," one American chortled cheerfully as he walked into his first Moscow hotel room. "If anyone was listening," he confided later, "I just wanted them to know I was friendly." Most visitors leave convinced that rooms are no longer bugged, nor do they have any sense of being followed.

Bold words-considering that they came from a modest headquarters over a Woolworth's store on Manhattan's East Side...
Portman's bold design has already paid off. Though the hotel has been accepting guests for only a month and will not open officially for another two weeks, it already has well over $30 million in advance bookings. Visitors' reactions to the courtyard range from "a fabulosity" (an Atlanta attorney) to "the eighth wonder of the world" (a Chicago businessman). Indeed, so many bowled-over guests blurt out "Jeez!"-or stronger-when they first gaze up into 21 stories of space that hotel employees have already dubbed the spot in the lobby where the full height is first...
