...Hayden's dream program has always died in committee on the other side of the Hill. Colorado's Wayne Aspinall, chairman of the House Interior Committee, and a crusty young whippersnapper of 71, has effectively blocked the bill because his state-along with six others-shares the source of Arizona's water: the Colorado River. Unless Colorado's share of the water was guaranteed Aspinall was not about to let any of Hayden's proposals leak out of his committee.

The Rebels have found jobs for more than 1,000 youths, sent 120 back to school.

In his zeal to create a town of beauty, Simon, heir to a Manhattan real-estate duchy, plunged ahead with construction in 1962 without calculating how much his dream would cost-or even securing a loan. Simon recalls that "Reston never recovered" after the collapse of an oral deal with the Washington Gas Light Co. to supply $6,000,000 at a low interest rate. Gulf bailed him out with $15 million only five days before lack of funds would have halted buildine...
