Whole communities are utterly dependent on the auto. Wall, S. Dak., a town of 800, boasts four ultramodern motels, three new gas stations, a bevy of postcard stands, a famous drugstore that does more than $1,000,000 worth of business annually and the highest per capita ownership of backyard swimming pools in the state?all because it happens to be handy to the interstate highway that vacationers travel to the Badlands, the Black Hills and Mount Rushmore.

But more importantly, the court found that a number of present Nixon associates were involved in the project, including Nixon's personal lawyer Herbert Kalmbach, HEW's Caspar Weinberger...
...that he was preoccupied with the construction of those huge, zany castles on which his fame-and much of modern Bavaria's tourist industry-rests, it seems perverse of Director Visconti to give us so many splendid views of the royal mouth, and only one or two postcard snaps of the royal passion...
