...roofing over the ravine, letting its top side serve as a landscaped park bridging the two universities. Subsurface, the project resembles a sort of upside-down layer cake. It will provide some 10 million sq. ft. of usable space to house no fewer than three theaters, an extension of the Carnegie Art Museum, an instrumentation center, and a computer and data bank, all of which will permit research employees to find work, recreation, culture and education within walking distance of one another. The railroad tracks will remain where they are, but they will be spanned by huge arches that will...

Last year, says August Felando, general manager of the American Tuna Boat Association, West Coast skippers were hooked for a cool $500,000 for the privilege of fishing in the 66,000 sq. mi. of blue Pacific Ocean claimed by Ecuador.

Up and down the Persian Gulf, the states of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and Iran were rolling in oil wealth. But year after year, Abu Dhabi's 25,000 sq. mi. of sand, date palms and barren offshore islands just got hotter, more humid and windswept than before...
...dozen men in Cairo were groping for the political blueprint for a nation stronger, richer and more powerful than any Arab state for centuries past. If it all works out, the proposed new Middle Eastern power complex will cover 620,300 sq. mi., stretch from the borders of Turkey and Iran to Sudan and Libya, from the Persian Gulf to the Mediterranean and far down the Red Sea coast. It would have a population of 40 million people (expected to reach 80 million by 1985, greater than the largest nation of Western Europe) and a total gross national product...
