...Recreation Area and Bryce, Zion, Grand Canyon and Capital Reef national parks-is located within 250 miles of the proposed plant site. Two weeks ago, in an action that probably hastened the consortium's decision, 31 members of Congress suggested even further delays in the plant's oft-stalled construction by formally asking Kleppe to withhold approval pending further study...
...basic problem seems to be one of methodology. The life and policies of Johnson are by now a familiar and oft-told tale, and Kearns, despite her experience working with Johnson in the White House, apparently didn't have much to add. She needed a new angle, something no one else had, and eventually settled on psychology.

Although an admittedly trivial case, this incident underscores those of this year's Yom Kippur registration and Christmas Dinner. What makes it especially insulting...
Both Henry Fairlie and Martin Mayer engage in a savage debunking of the '60s. Fairlie especially starts with an oft-heard Bicentennial premise: the U.S., reeling from Watergate and Viet Nam, must recover its morale and equilibrium. The idea could smack of mere inspirationalism, but Fairlie and Mayer approach the thought with original and even eccentric minds...
