...mile-wide heart of Colorado is stunningly scenic, generally prosperous and traditionally Republican: the Fifth District has never sent a Democrat to the House. The apparent hopelessness of Democratic Challenger Tom Cronin's cause seemed underscored last week when Republicans leaked a poll from July showing that two-term Incumbent Congressman Ken Kramer was ahead by a margin of better than...
...criteria for determining what can be sold are straightforward. Lands in the National Park and National Wildlife Refuge systems are exempt from consideration. So are Indian Trust lands and Wilderness areas, Wild and Scenic Rivers, National Trails, national conservation areas and certain other lands designated by Congress. This adds up to 400 million acres.

Point Sur Light Station. Perched on a gumdrop-shaped rock on the spectacularly scenic northern California coast, this is one of the most exciting pieces being offered.

Bucks Harbor Air Force Station. Sitting at the base of 260-ft.-high Howard Mountain on the scenic coast of Maine 160 miles northeast of Portland, the base was abandoned by the Air Force last February and turned over to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Defense Department.

A local group known as Howard Mountain...
...headquarters of Britain's electronic intelligence empire is a sprawling compound at Cheltenham, 95 miles northwest of London and nestled among the scenic hills of Gloucestershire. Known in the trade as GCHQ (for Government Communications Headquarters), the facility receives and analyzes data from a worldwide system of spy bases, ships, planes and satellites. It operates round the clock and employs some 10,000 staffers round the globe. Cheltenham is a vital part of the West's constant effort to break the Soviet Union's military and diplomatic codes. Now there is a distinct possibility that GCHQ...
