...small corner of nowhere. The type still exists. But the new sites proliferating from California to Maine, as the following color pages show, are modern amusement centers in choice resort areas. On these spreads, hardship means going without a six-channel cable TV set or a phone hookup-both of which are likely to be available for a small fee. Such basics as running water, electricity and sewage lines are taken for granted; athletic facilities and organized social activities are common.

Chairman Andrews, fearing a possible outbreak of violence, arranged midway through the three-day convention for Wallace to again declare his noncandidacy via a telephone hookup to his bedside in the Spain Rehabilitation Center in Birmingham.

The roof bristles with antennas. At night all eleven of Hughes' balconies are awash with harsh floodlights. Closed-circuit TV cameras lean out from the building's walls, scanning for intruders. Uniformed guards watch...
...rudimentary space station. In April, the Soviets followed up the orbiting of their unmanned Salyut space lab with the launch of Soyuz 10, but it took the three men aboard the smaller ship more than 24 hours to rendezvous and dock with the station. When the hookup was finally made, undisclosed problems forced them to back off and return abruptly to earth...
