...Circus Circus's Colorado Belle. Another 5,500 rooms are being built. However, the frantic pace of construction has strained Laughlin's meager civic resources. The town suffers from shortages of housing, labor and water and must send high school students across the river to Bullhead City, Ariz., until its own school can be built...
Thanks to John Baudouine, of Bullhead City, Ariz. (pop. 15,000), his town is now officially hotter than ever before. Baudouine, a fireman, is no sorcerer: for four years he has been in charge of reporting daily weather statistics to the National Weather Service for his stretch of western Arizona desert. Last April a stickler from the Weather Service told him to move his thermometer from the firehouse's comparatively cool, sprinklered front lawn to more "natural terrain."

Sometimes one cannot see the forestière for the trees. To be sure, the Liebs' Bullhead is not Alain Chapel's plaisanterie in Mionnay or Lasserre in Paris. Nonetheless, Alan-Otto, trained in European restaurants, and his Anna Rozmarja, who is known as Ronnie-they are both 40 years old-run a warm and welcoming restaurant that draws regular patrons from great distances. Alan's reach may exceed his grasp, and Ronnie does not always make a perfect gâteau. But they are delighted by the Sheraton pan, hoping it will defuse their new fame...
