...Arbor, Mich., in 1964. Far from seeking a stronger role for the Federal Government-as it sometimes has been thought to do-creative federalism not only asks states and cities to do more on their own, but challenges the concept that governmental power is a one-level reservoir from which every cup drawn by Washington means a loss for someone else. Instead, as Max Ways wrote in FORTUNE, "creative federalism starts from the contrary belief that total power -private and public, individual and organizational-is expanding very rapidly...
...Borne Virus. The problem may be more difficult than the finances suggest. The world's greatest smallpox reservoir is the Indian subcontinent. In the 1950-51 winter epidemic season, the Republic of India recorded 225,000 cases and 57,000 deaths. By herculean efforts involving 420 million vaccinations, India has cut the toll, and the 1965-66 figures are expected to be closer to 10,000 cases and 2,500 deaths-an enormous achievement, even allowing for continued underreporting. The improvement has been made despite manpower shortages, and the fact that ordinary vaccine will not keep for more than...
...give Rawlings more than an outside chance of overcoming Judge Smith's longtime reservoir of respect and affection. Admitting that what he calls "the dinosaur vote" is still strong in Smith's bailiwick, Rawlings hopes that the district's increased Negro vote may prove the decisive factor-as it could in the other two races. Statewide, 61,096 more Virginia Negroes are enfranchised than in 1964, increasing total Negro voting strength to 205,000, or 19.7% of the Old Dominion's 1964 election turnout. The increase is particularly significant in Virginia, since for years less than...
...that his scheme would work. There was no doubt that compressed air could be stored underground; it is often used for testing the sealing of caverns that many nations use to store natural gas. In addition, off-peak-hour electricity is already used to pump water up into a reservoir above the level of a water-driven turbine. During hours of peak demand, the water is released to flow down against the blades of the turbine, which drives an electric generator...
...knowledge of the forest. Contrary to Mr. Raup's opinion, the area to be taken over by Con Edison is of drastic significance to the woodland. The face of Storm King Mountain, White Horse Mountain, and considerable acreage in the Black Rock area were to be sacrificed for a "reservoir." The term reservoir is used only in connection with pure water, but in fact the water will be saline and polluted. Furthermore, Con Edison itself admits that it could not guarantee against seepage which would tremendously affect the surrounding watershed area. Finally, the 200 foot earthen fill dam was shown...
