Having invented urban sprawl, Californians may be among the first to find ways of revitalizing and rebuilding the inner cities. Los Angeles, with its stubborn refusal to invest in efficient rapid transit, may yet be obliged to give up the automobile and go to subways; for a model, there will be San Francisco's computer-controlled BART (Bay Area Transit) system, which is, after many years, now within reach of completion...
...Government has spent $450 million so far on feasibility and design studies. Nixon's proposal would commit the Government to invest another $1.3 billion to build two prototypes. After that, Boeing and its suppliers are expected to finance the early production costs, which will bring the overall total to about $3 billion. Under a tough contract with Boeing, Washington will recover its investment when the 300th aircraft is sold. The Government will turn a $1 billion profit if sales reach the Federal Aviation Administration's predicted minimum of 500 by 1990-a return that works out to less...

Alaskans have variously suggested building a bridge to Siberia, distributing the cash equally among the citizenry, and building a much-discussed new state capitol beside the Mendenhall Glacier near Juneau. More soberly, the Legislative Council has commissioned The Brookings Institution to recommend how best to invest the interest that the money will earn, and Governor Miller has asked the Stanford Research Institute to undertake a similar study. Beyond that, Alaska has another 800,000 acres to put up for bids whenever it wishes, and will collect 90% of the royalties from any oil produced on federal...
