...managed to stay in the pink in Russia, where caviar cost $1.35 a portion, cognac up to $2.25 a snifter. He wears custom-made suits from London and monogrammed shirts from Paris (though they do nothing for his built-in rumples). Asked his favorite color, Gunther beams: "Smoked salmon-Prunier's, of course, not Reuben's." Nor would Host Gunther dream of serving domestic champagne at his massive parties. For one gala, co-hosted at the Gun-thers' house by Claude Philippe of the Waldorf, liveried footmen carried scrolls to invite the 80 guests...
Author Ferber has been to Alaska four times, and must have done a lot of research, too: her book is very knowing about such matters as parkas, salmon fishing and Gold Rush prostitutes. She also makes an emotional and just plea for Alaskan statehood. But decades of panning fictional gold (Show Boat, Saratoga Trunk) have taught canny Prospector Ferber where to find the pay lode.

The dams that industrialized the Northwest have blocked great runs of Chinook salmon and steelhead trout as they swarm in from the sea to spawn far upstream. Since pre-dam 1928, the commercial salmon catch on the Columbia River alone has decreased more than 50%. Millions have been spent on devices to help mature fish climb dams, get tiny fingerlings back safely through turbine blades...
...predecessor, Douglas McKay, and quietly stolen some thunder from Northwest Democrats. Last week all eyes turned to Seaton's suggestion for a $274 million multipurpose dam at Pleasant Valley instead of at Nez Perce. FPC and many powermen have opposed it because it would be above the Salmon and Imnaha Rivers, thus store much less water than Nez Perce. It would also flood out the lowest Hells Canyon dam that Idaho Power Co. is licensed to build. But Pleasant Valley, under hard study by the Interior Department since last year, would certainly save more fish than Nez Perce...
