But the Phoenix area alone is already using more water than its reservoirs collect, has to "mine" 1,300,000 acre feet of water annually out of its lowered underground water table. Though the new residential areas use only one-third as much water as the crops they replace, the further spread of homes into the desert will leave a water problem that can be solved only by wresting more of the Colorado River away from California (which...

He is usually up around 6 to collect the four papers on the front steps, the Times, the New York Herald Tribune, the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal.

In Cleveland, the National Reference Library publishes booklets of canned speeches (price $4 to $20), tailors individual ones at higher prices, claims 100,000 contented customers. For businessmen who want to be safe and save money at the same time, some trade associations offer speech kits to all (favorite theme for 1960: Businessmen Must Break into Politics). Companies such as Esso Standard Oil and Bemis Bros. Bag have...
