...throughout most of its upper vastness, the Colorado River Basin has long seemed to be dying of thirst. The Colorado has merely rushed through the landscape, unharnessed for use by man, leaving behind only magnificent wasteland. Last week, as Interior Secretary Stewart Udall inspected the giant dam rising across Glen Canyon in northwest Arizona, it was apparent that the Upper Colorado Basin was at last on its way to becoming a land of incomparable opportunity...
...Machines. But the key to the entire development of the Upper Colorado is Arizona's 700-ft. Glen Canyon Dam. When completed in 1964, the structure will have a capacity of 900,000 kw. of electricity, back up Lake Powell through 186 miles of some of the most dramatic scenery in the U.S. The job of building Glen Canyon compares in sheer size with the land itself.

Peace Corps Project. The Secret Service have had little trouble with sightseers. So far. the road past Glen Ora has been a mess. It's better now, and last Sunday there was quite a caravan, led by a woman driver who got past the gatehouse, followed by about ten other cars. She was stopped, naturally, and everybody had to start backing (the country road past the entrance to Glen Ora is definitely one way). The tourist approach will probably change as the weather improves. Virginia's Historic Garden Week and the Middleburg Races in April bring a flush...
