...real estate climbing fastest in the U.S.? Try Aspen and neighboring Snowmass, Colo., the ski-and-sun resort area whose population of 17,000 swells to 35,000 when the snow is on the trails from Thanksgiving through mid-April. Six years ago, studio apartments in the Lichenhearth condominium complex sold for $30,000; today, these 675-sq.-ft. jewel boxes go for $175,000. Last year Jay Kuhne, a California real estate man, parted with $275,000 for his three-bedroom town house condo on the Aspen Club grounds; this year the unit is selling for $675,000. Prices...
...rush just before the summer adjournment in 1977. Enforcement regulations proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency would sharply tighten the already strict standards on pollution emissions and make burning coal more difficult than ever. The amendments already require, among other things, that new coal-fired plants install highly complex "scrubbers" to remove sulfur pollution from exhaust smoke. The scrubbers cost $80 million or more for an average-size, 800-megawatt generating plant. What really upsets coalmen is that the regulations would force utilities to use scrubbers to remove up to 85% of sulfur pollutants even from coal that has virtually...
...first and still biggest pleasure complex to sprout in the wilderness, in 1962, was the Kaanapali Beach Resort on Maui's west coast, overlooking the cloud-capped, green-velvet islands of Molokai and Lanai. On 470 acres girdled by three miles of wide white sand beach, Kaanapali has more than 2,200 rooms divided among the Sheraton-Maui, Royal Lahaina (the island's largest), Kaanapali Beach and Maui Surf hotels. Other Kaanapalitan lures include two championship golf courses (several couples each year get married on the 18th hole); 20 tennis courts; Whaler's Village, a 30 store...
That's not all. South of Wailea, Seibu Hawaii Inc., a Japanese company, is building a six-story, 300-room hotel on 1,000 acres-with a golf course, of course. Within the Kaanapali complex, a Hyatt Regency, now half-built, will open in 1980. The $80 million, triple-towered, 820-room hotel, the biggest single construction project in Hawaiian history, will feature, among other things, a mini-Niagara surging through a lobby the size of three football fields...
...inaccuracy, "I think a lot of that was caused by my relative in accessibility ... I think that we've made some progress." Time was up; a strong accusation had been made but only softly documented. Was this −like Eisenhower's remark about the military-industrial complex −an unexpected, out-of-character presidential comment, to be made once and then dropped...
