...Vegas can't offer bowlers a facility like Reno's. No place can. The stadium is enormous, a city-block square; the gift shop alone is 11,000 sq. ft. The 80 bowling lanes can be covered over to make 38,000 sq. ft. of convention space. A 172-seat theater opened last week, with 70-mm showings of To Fly and a Reno travelog on a four-story screen. Pearson is already booking the theater for lectures and the space outside for a wide array of events, such as an auction in which 1,000 Harley-Davidsons will...
...Look," says one of the resource-management planners, jabbing his finger at a graph. "Lake Superior isn't much of a tourist attraction. Who wants to come and look at 31,820 sq. mi. of water? Nobody. The water's too cold for swimming, and frankly, lakes don't draw like canyons do. Ask Lake Mead. Lakes only draw fishermen, a bunch of owly guys who drive in, buy a six-pack of beer and a bologna sandwich. Canyons draw families. And the Superior Canyon, without a doubt, will outdraw the Grand. It's bigger, for one thing, plus...
...about the region--that it is virtually empty. The number of humans is in fact low in absolute terms. Currently Siberia has 30 million inhabitants, with the largest concentrations in cities like Novosibirsk (pop. 1.4 million) and Vladivostok (pop. 640,000). The entire Russian Far East, covering 2.4 million sq. mi., has 8 million people, less than the population of Moscow. But Siberia is not empty; it is not even underpopulated...
...province in the heart of a vast and pristine watershed. When told that the outside world views their forests as empty, four Udege hunters laugh uproariously. They argue that too many people are already using the forest. A study shows that only half the watershed's nearly 5,000 sq. mi. of forest produces enough sable, deer and elk to support hunters. And a single tribal hunter must roam a territory as large as 75 sq. mi.--about the size of the Caribbean island of Aruba--to trap enough fur and hunt enough meat to live on. That allowance...
...upon the shores...") and a list from the Rolling Stones detailing what they required backstage for their 1972 tour (among the items: vodka, backgammon set and "apple pie--lots"). As of last week, however, workers were still hustling to put the finishing touches on exhibits in the 150,000-sq.-ft. facility. Joked museum director Dennis Barrie: "Welcome to our organized chaos...
