...provision of the new treaty calls for a "feasibility study" for a second canal, but it is generally agreed that the cost would be prohibitive. Still, there is no reason to assume that Panamanians will fail to run the canal properly. They have ample time to learn on the job. And, of course, the U.S. retains the right to intervene if the canal runs into serious trouble...

California farmers also benefit from an expanding network of water-reclamation plants, including the world's largest, in Orange County, which processes 15 million gal. of waste water daily at 50% less cost and with 50% less energy use than old systems. Some cities have built plants to reclaim waste water for irrigation. Farmers have wider access to wells drilled two to three times deeper than normal-as far down as 3,000 ft.-by radical new equipment that uses larger bits, more powerful engines and TV monitoring. In addition, they can call on emergency cloud-seeding planes...

The Easy Riser is nothing more than a pair of biplane wings connected by a seat and powered by a Go-Kart motor. Cost: $1,200. To get this 80-lb. flying machine off the ground, its developer, Larry Mauro of San Jose, Calif, runs as fast as he can for 25 feet. Says he: "In this plane you can find pockets of lift and spiral around. When you're out flying...
