Indeed, to outraged Arizonans, Carter's cutback seemed like a death sentence-and it could not have come at a worse time. Because of the drought, Gila Valley farmers-who would have benefited from CAP-are receiving only 10% to 20% of their usual water supply, and have had to reduce production drastically. The long-range outlook is even more alarming to officials. Ground water, which furnishes 40% of the state's needs, is being pumped out at a rate five times faster than it is being restored...
Dudley's John "Cactus Juice" Carpenter, the Arizona Gila monster, couldn't seem to get around Marcus William's long left jab in the first round. Nor in the second. In the third round, he gained his mobility and a victory, by a single point, for the 145 lb. championship...
...Howdy from the middle of nowhere," say the souvenir postcards sold in Gila Bend, Ariz. The tiny town (pop. 1,700) is a truckers' and traveling salesmen's way station along Highway 80, which ribbons through the cactus-dotted desert between Tucson and Yuma. But Gila Bend is not the middle of nowhere any more. Last week reporters from both Europe and the U.S. poured into town, thronging the bar of the local Elks' Club and pressing into a dusty little courtroom decorated with a painting of Wild Bill Hickok being gunned down in a Deadwood saloon...

An inquest was being held into the death of the young business manager of English Actress Sarah Miles. The manager, David Whiting, was found dead in Miles' motel room a month ago during the shooting of MGM's western, The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing. Pills and bottles were scattered around his body, and bruises and a bloody cut were found on his head. Miles and her co-star Burt Reynolds had originally declined to testify...
Against such living death, Brower thrusts Simon Moro, an aging horror-film actor and cinema-cult figure. His old films, Ghoulgantua, Gila Man, etc., are classics. Many have been severely cut, or shelved, for reasons of taste. A Moro film in which the monster gets the girl is as unacceptable to the public as a cartoon cat who catches and lustily devours the mouse...
