HAPPY. Jack and Liz Cooper were so tired of constant rain in Corvallis, Ore., that they were ready to buy almost any property that was dry. They finally settled on an arid, dusty stretch in central Oregon that had been dubbed Sunriver by the enterprising developer. But the developer, John Gray, had a reputation in Oregon for making deserts bloom and rain forests shine. "It was a gamble to sink money into a development that hadn't really got started yet," says Jack Cooper. "But the master plan was fantastic...
...eleven specific categories of offenses, ranging from killing a policeman to causing a fatality by willfully wrecking a train; the state thus hoped to meet the Supreme Court's objections to indiscriminate capital punishment. South Dakota and Missouri debated ways to make their state governments more efficient. Portland, Ore., talked of saving electricity by eliminating high school football games on Friday nights. Nude bathers in San Diego opposed city fathers' plans to turn a stretch of secluded beach into a public park. Bakersfield, Calif., worried that a proposed atomic power plant might somehow pollute its water supply...
...editions but have reduced out-of-state circulation or cut the number of copies distributed to newsstands, where unsold papers now seem a vanishing luxury. Other economies are being sought.

(A depot contract: "We must move more boxes onto more ships with happier...
Northeastern Minnesota, sometimes called the Arrowhead Country because of its shape, begins at the rugged Misquah Hills and Giants Range, a sharp granite ridge as high as 500 ft. To the southeast rises the Mesabi Range, a rocky belt that used to produce 82% of the nation's iron ore and still yields 63% in iron and taconite, the iron pellets sifted magnetically from huge loads of earth. Below the Canadian border stretch vast expanses of forests and lakes, a region of shaggy and pristine beauty. Timber wolves roam there. Moose can be seen feeding in the clearings. Sometimes...
