...most exciting flowering of Washington is at its Bicentennial best on the Mall, the vast greensward that sweeps from the new reflecting pool at the foot of Capitol Hill to the landmark pool stretching from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial. Nowhere in the world is there an equal to the burgeoning cluster of the Smithsonian Institution's showcases that now flank the Mall. In late 1974 the Hirshhorn Museum of Sculpture opened to great fanfare; on July 1 the huge new National Air and Space Museum will open, encompassing the history and artifacts of flight within...
...festival, a recent tradition expanded this year to run throughou-the summer. More than 5,000 musicians and craftsmen from all parts of the nation and 36 other countries will fill the place with the music, dance, food and arts that enrich the American mosaic. Directly across the reflecting pool (watch out for canoe races) is another new feature: the sprawling Constitution Gardens−a graceful lake, paths and more than 2,600 trees−replacing the ugly "temporary" buildings that have blighted Constitution Avenue since the days of World...

Geologists have long suspected that Houston's Memorial Park sits on a pool of oil and gas, and now the city wants to tap it. The scheme has naturally aroused the Audubon Society and the Sierra Club, but their distress pales beside that of the city's oil establishment. The oilmen are upset not because the city plans to drill in Memorial...
