...over high policy but a relatively modest 80-mile, $2.8 million road that was to be built in the Andean foothills. The road was the pet project of Governor Juan Figueroa Funge, 66, of Rio Negro Province, who proudly announced it at his inauguration in Viedma last Au gust. It was also the pet peeve of out spoken Mayor Julio Dante Salto of Cipolletti, 600 miles away. Salto, 55, called the road "folly," and urged that the money be spent on other projects...
...almost as long as a football field plucked a 35-ton concrete box from a waiting truck-trailer and swung it high over the construction site beside the San Antonio River. Ever so delicately, Crane Operator Gene Smith steadied the massive shell against the push of the wind; every gust was countered by radioed adjustments in the pitch of a helicopter tail rotor mounted on the lifting rig. With directional help from a magnetic compass, Smith gently stacked each concrete box atop an identical unit, to which it was sealed with more concrete. Seventy-two times last week, a guest...
...President Richard Nixon-the meeting at Jackson Lake Lodge was at best a disappointment, at worst a storm signal. Romney's backers wanted the Governors to issue a pronouncement of support for their man, thereby puffing some wind into the sails of his be calmed campaign.

High atop a mountain, a gust toppled a transmission tower; a crackling power line dropped into the brush and started a fire. Winds up to 50 m.p.h. quickly whipped blazes into conflagrations that ruined 2,100 acres of the Angeles National Forest, killed 14 fire fighters and severely burned twelve others. Even those not directly threatened by the flames felt the wrath of the Santa Ana. Temperatures in downtown Los Angeles rose to a stifling 100°; extremely low humidity dried the throats, chapped the lips, and helped bring an unaccustomed irritability to untold millions of Southern Californians...
