...White. Like Tom Wolfe before them, tourists will find it hard to believe that there was once a Garden of Allah. But it blossomed in lush profusion from the day in 1927 when Nazimova turned her once private domain into a super hostelry; 23 guest villas were added to the great stucco manor house-and an h was added to the mistress' first name, recalling the movie Garden of Allah. Alla objected to the spelling, but her modest protests were drowned in the gin-laced hubbub...
...Albuquerque Correspondent Arch Napier trekked through New Mexico's Carson National Forest. In Washington, Bureau Chief John L. Steele mopped his brow, thought warmly of his colleagues in the cool forests, and with Chief Forester Richard E. McArdle summed up the purpose of McArdle's far-reaching domain (see map). It's the same as it was when Teddy Roosevelt created the forest service in 1905: "For the greatest good of the greatest number in the long...
...beginning of the golden age of U.S. oceanography. For the first time in its life, Woods Hole had enough money. More Navy millions went to California's Scripps Institution of Oceanography, which matches Woods Hole in growth, and claims, with California confidence, the whole Pacific Ocean as its domain.

Since her coronation in 1953, she has traveled 80,000 miles, far more than any other monarch in history. In 1954 she survived the loyal ecstasy of a million Australians in Sydney, who broke police lines eight times to surround the royal motorcade, shouting "Good on you, Liz and Phil!" She went to Ceylon even though nationalist agitators collected 150,000 signatures asking her to stay away. In Nigeria, without blinking, she watched the fiery charge of thousands of spear-waving...
...commercial power to private enterprise. He drew much of the blame for AEC's heavily attacked (and long since canceled) Dixon-Yates contract, under which a private utility firm was supposed to build a power plant at West Memphis, Ark., right in the jealously guarded public-power domain of the Tennessee Valley Authority. He outraged stop-the-tests advocates by urging continued nuclear tests, with emphasis on developing "clean" weapons...
