...CENTRAL ARIZONA PROJECT. Congressman Morris Udall, another dedicated conservationist, is urbane enough to acknowledge that one man's "sound water-resource project" is another man's pork barrel. As it happens, one of the Congressman's public works is on Carter's list: the $1.6 billion Central Arizona Project, now about 20% complete, which would draw upon the Colorado River in the western part of the state, pump the water 2,000 ft. uphill and carry it by 400 miles of aqueducts to the outskirts of Phoenix and Tucson...

Jimmy Carter has been tossing out these words with frightening freedom-frightening at least to some of the Middle East leaders and most professional diplomats. As ambiguous as any oracle. Carter has bestowed some of these loaded words on just about every aggrieved party in the Arab-Israeli conflict; but for the moment at least, the Israelis seem to be getting the worst of it. After Carter had announced himself in favor of a Palestinian "homeland," there were...
