...resolution through the House Foreign Affairs Committee by an 18-to-8 vote, and will very likely get it through the full House. But the Senate, asking a dim view of House meddling with the Senate's business of treaties, is expected to bury "the Bow thing" deep...
Public-power and private-power advocates have quarreled and quibbled for a decade over whether the Federal Government should 1) build a power dam in mile-deep Hells Canyon on the Northwest's Snake River, or 2) let the privately owned Idaho Power Co. do the job. The issue seemed settled last year when the Senate scotched, 51 to 41, a Democratic bill authorizing a federal Hells Canyon dam costing upwards of $300 million.

...soft June afternoon burst to a deep, mechanical snarl, and the gently rolling countryside south of Le Mans, France came alive as 54 low-slung sports cars whirled into the start of "les vingt-quatre heures," auto racing's classic Grand Prix of Endurance.

At one moment he would have his audience roaring with him, as in Matilda ("Everyone sing the chorus...
...anchor, the nation's shorelines, lakes and waterways are dotted with boats; on the Great Lakes, the Detroit area alone counts 100,000; uncounted thousands more skim across the enormous man-made lakes formed by dam projects in the Tennessee Valley, the Colorado and Missouri Rivers. Says one deep-water sailor: "Thousands of farm families, who wouldn't know an auxiliary cutter from a lightship, are literally sailing over the bounding prairie -and loving every minute...
