Only two major toasts were given: one by Bulganin, and one in reply by the acting dean of the Foreign Diplomatic Corps, Burmese Ambassador Maung Ohn. But the day's gaiety had just begun...
Heads-made of calfskin specially processed to make it extremely hard-are the bottleneck of the banjo business, and hard to come by. Manufacturers were cautious about ordering skins until they were sure the plinkety-plunk was here to stay for a while. They are sure now. Banjos have been invading TV- notably on the Robert Q.

Springs and river water from the Colorado, Mojave,* Verde, Salt and Gila gave rise to settlements and small farming districts. Deep wells supported a slowly growing population, clustered along well-traveled desert highways in a few centers-Tucson, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Barstow. In the mountains, miners hammered away at sun-baked mineral vaults, and on the sandy desert floor men learned to irrigate and raise truck crops, cotton, dates...
