...GARRISON DIVERSION. Quite a different kind of problem is posed by the $566 million enterprise along the Missouri River in North Dakota. The Garrison, 19% complete, would carry water through 1,000 miles of major canals to irrigate 250,000 acres in the dry eastern part of the state...
...Reynolds shut down his car wash. The local Laundromat was about to close-but it burned down first. Water is so scarce in many South Dakota towns, like Toronto (pop. 200), that assembly of a rescue "rain train" of 100 tank cars carrying 20,000 gallons each from the Missouri River is under consideration.

With his sandpaper style and naked drive for power, Burton had quite a few enemies. Second in the handicapping was Missouri's Richard Boiling, admired as a scholarly authority on constitutional and parliamentary affairs, but considered aloof and arrogant by many of his colleagues. Third-ranked was Texas' Jim Wright, 53, who started his political career as an avowed liberal but has evolved into a conservative on many issues. Like...
