Anatomy of a Murder (Carlyle Productions; Columbia), based on the 1958 bestseller by Robert T raver (pen name of Justice John D. Voelker of the Michigan Supreme Court), is a courtroom melodrama that seems less concerned with murder than with anatomy. In scene after scene, the customers are bombarded with such no-nonsense words as "intercourse . . . contraceptive . . . spermatogenesis . . . sexual climax." And even the least barkbound of spectators may find himself startled to see and hear, in his neighborhood movie house, extended discussion of what constitutes rape ("Violation is sufficient; there need not be a completion ... on the part...
Share & Share Alike. A group of five Northwest power companies, headed by Paul Raver, onetime Bonneville Power administrator and now president of Seattle's city-owned Municipal Light and Power System, want to build a 700-ft. high, $250-million earth-fill dam across the Columbia where it winds through the Canadian wilderness. At the dam itself and two other sites between Mica Creek and the border, Canada could build powerhouses to produce 1,700,000 kw. of power. The Canadian government would also release enough water from Mica Creek during the dry winter months to produce...
...local initiative and private capital produce the power? "You're damned right we can!" declared Kinsey Robinson, president of Spokane's Washington Water Power Co. "We could have done it a long time ago if the climate had been right." Superintendent Paul Raver of Seattle City Light, former chief of the federal Bonneville Power Administration, joined in a declaration: "We recognize our responsibility to produce 1.6 million new kilowatts in the next ten years, and we intend...
Group No. 2, consisting of two local public-utility districts, two municipal outfits (Seattle and Tacoma) and the privately owned Puget Sound Power & Light Co., was formed by Seattle City Light's Superintendent Paul Raver. As longtime head of the giant Bonneville Power Administration, Raver was for years the top federal power exponent in the Northwest...
During the war, however, Raver saw the value of coordinating public and private projects into an integrated network, and created the Northwest Power Pool. The public-private combination of plants and dams produces 600,000 more kilowatts than the facilities would produce if operated separately. Raver's group, like Robinson's, will ask the Federal Government to pay some of its costs. It plans facilities for 1,600,000 kw. in the next ten years, is starting field studies for possible dams in such areas as the Columbia River Basin...
