...Rocky Mountain states have always been have-nots as far as culture is concerned. Our planners say that Denver itself will double its population, to more than 3 million, in 20 years. They also say that if we tried to build this complex 20 years from now, the cost would be about $1 billion. It will take time, but we are looking for excellence in everything...

Rhodesia announced that the "self-defense" raid-"It was a beautiful op, smooth as butter," said one officer in Salisbury-killed 38 guerrillas at the cost of one white Rhodesian trooper. Insisting that industrial targets had been hit as well, Zambia announced it would seek U.N. condemnation of the raid...

The myriad products that use the nation's favorite sweetener will inch up with it. Increased costs for transportation, labor and energy have driven cereal products up 6% in recent months. The price of rice has been puffed up by poor crops around the world; a 10-lb. bag that sold for $2.03 wholesale in October now costs more than $3. Torrential...
