...rivers are the major source of public water supplies. Chicago, for example, draws all its drinking water from Lake Michigan. By city ordinance in 1967. Chicago's boatmen were required to install holding tanks. Though boatmen sputtered, the regulations were reasonable. For one thing, Chicago provided sufficient pump-out stations. Thus no boatman need be caught with an overflowing holding tank and no place to go. For another, the plumbing for direct overboard venting could be left in place; thus, boatmen could cruise to other areas that lacked pump-out stations. Because Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin have passed...
Basically, however, the elections were fought not over national concerns but over what might be called parish-pump issues. Nowhere was that more evident than in two medieval villages hidden among the protective cliffs of southern France...
...Sanh, the distinctive pump and whir of hundreds of helicopter rotor blades began at 7 a.m., even before the morning fog started to lift. Drowsy pilots walked out to their UH-1 Hueys and malevolent-looking OH-6 Cobra gunships, checked out the oil levels, the instruments and the control linkages, and then strolled back to their tactical operations centers.

...order to store electricity produced by this reactor during off-peak hours, four pump storage stations are now planned. In each of these, water pumped up to huge tanks on mountain tops and released to generate electricity when needed. These will be built on Wantastiquet Mountain in Brattleboro, Vermont; on Northfield Mountain in Massachusetts; near Bellows Falls in Walpole, New Hampshire; and near Bear Creek Swamp above Rowe, Massachusetts. The ecological consequences of the 10 rise in river temperature, the 205 dams and the pump storage stations have hardly been investigated...
...President has had many occasions lately to remember those remarks about his old friend and economics mentor. The Federal Reserve Board could pump enough money into the U.S. economy to increase greatly the chances that Nixon's glowing forecasts of fast production, profit and income growth in 1971 will come true. Since December, Nixon has been publicly implying that the board has a duty to do so; some aides make the argument in private with extraordinary vehemence. Last week Burns made it plain that despite this pressure he will be quite as independent as Nixon advertised and less accommodating...
