...Dominy's recommendation, Udall ordered Glen Canyon's gates opened. That was like pulling the plug on one bathtub and letting the water drain into another (see map). In this case, the Glen Canyon water flowed, at 18,000 cu. ft. per sec., 370 miles downriver to Lake Mead and Hoover Dam. The water is still running, which is fine for the folks in Phoenix and Los Angeles. But the water loss to the Upper Basin is drying up Lake Powell, and with it the hopes there for new electric power in the near future...
...days," he told Considine, "with considerably fewer casualties than were suffered during the so-called truce period, and it would have altered the course of history." The plan called for an air strike with "between 30 and 50" atomic bombs just north of the Yalu River (sec map). This would have wiped out the enemy's air capability. Then, using 500,000 Chinese Nationalist troops "sweetened by two U.S. Marine divisions," MacArthur would have landed on both the east and west sides of the Korean peninsula at the North Korean border, thus trapping the Chinese Communist armies that were...
...Your map of Cyprus shows that the distance between Cyprus and the nearest point on the Turkish coast is 45 miles, while the distance between Cyprus and Athens is 520 miles.

ALEXIS SOLOMOS Athens >TIME'S map "Danger Point" [March 20] illustrated the proximity...
...Senate Persuader does not carry over into his conduct of foreign affairs. Indeed, during his first 100 days or so, the President sometimes gave the impression that U.S. influence abroad had declined because of some failure in his capacity to deal with crises. And as crises flashed across the map like fireflies on a hot night-as Viet Nam got messier and Charles de Gaulle frostier--that critical impression of Johnson made it seem all the more apparent that his grasp on the reins was too uncertain...
...that delegation arrived when a serious border incident erupted. In hot pursuit of a gang of 20 Viet Cong, South Vietnamese armored cars and planes attacked the village of Chantrea four miles inside Cambodia. Sihanouk called it "savage aggression," reported that 16 Cambodians had been killed. Pleading faulty map reading, the embarrassed Saigon government admitted the intrusion, apologized, and promised indemnification. But it countered that several guerrillas had been found in the village, thus tending to confirm the well-known fact that the Viet Cong operate freely out of Cambodia. As usual, Sihanouk had some more words. Over the Pnompenh...
