...Udall's current campaign? The incident described occurred ten years ago, and, as is pointed out in the story, over the years Udall has gradually become more convinced of the necessity of conservation. Today he is actually co-sponsor of a bill prohibiting any dams in the Grand Canyon region. Is the story attempting to claim that Udall is inconsistent? Far from it. It simply outlines a change in philosophy. I would dare say that a harsher criticism could be leveled at a man who was unchanging, and blindly sticking to one position...
...into the desert air, which is already being dirtied by other power plants in the area. The National Park Service agreed that the plant's emissions would harm the region; some 20% of the country's land managed by the National Park Service-including the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon and Capital Reef national parks-is located within 250 miles of the proposed plant site. Two weeks ago, in an action that probably hastened the consortium's decision, 31 members of Congress suggested even further delays in the plant...
...years ago, and are expected to more than double again in five years. Hardly any school or library is without at least one machine, and the Xerox seems to have replaced the water cooler as an office social center.

Gosplan, the state planning committee of the U.S.S.R., reproduces many of its official documents on Xerox machines. As a result of the galloping ubiquity of office copiers, hardly anyone nowadays passes up an opportunity...
First-line combat outfits have been preparing for desert warfare for some time. In the summer of 1973, there was public admission of at least a run-through for a desert style operation, nicknamed Operation Alkali Canyon 73, in Time and US News and World Report. this was followed by Operation Petrolandia, involving the First Infantry and Fourth Cavalry Divisions as well as the First Air Force Squadron. And unlike the limited press reports which had marked Alkali Canyon, Petrolandia was fully described in Solider, the journal of the US armed forces. According to USN&WR the "Army's crack...
Higher Rates. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission must now decide whether to grant the plant an operating license. For safety's sake, it can delay the license until the building is strengthened further. That might help soothe widespread public fears about the safety of not only the Diablo Canyon plant itself-which critics are now attacking-but also about nuclear energy in general. This is an especially important consideration in California, where citizens will vote in June on a proposal that in effect would block more atomic power plants in the state. On the other hand...
