...morning in the dining room of the Kremlin apartment, a vaulted chamber where the czars once walked. He consumed his modest breakfast quickly and moved on into a paneled study for his early briefings and last-minute musing. The study always had the clean, swept look of Nixon. His pipe was cradled in a clean ashtray. The papers he needed were lined up. His two briefcases were set in exact positions beside the desk. There were two cans of Garfinckel's pipe mixture on the desk, a black telephone to the side, the inevitable Nixon Dictaphone on a corner...
...other terrorist acts. Though nobody has yet declared himself responsible for the attack on the justice's wife, it so happens that her husband had been directing an investigation of the gang. Moreover, police revealed that all the bombs had been made from pieces of heavy steel pipe stuffed with explosives-precisely the kind of pipe discovered by the cops when they raided a Hamburg hideout of the Baader-Meinhof gang in March...

In considering the effects of the 770-mile-long trans-Alaska pipeline, for example, planners had to investigate obscure questions like the effect of the pipe on caribou migration and spawning salmon. Its "statement" eventually filled nine large volumes. As a result of such toil, industry must often wait and wait for final approval of the agencies' statements before it can get on with its own work. Electric utilities with plans to build nuclear reactors have been particularly hard hit. NEPA...
