Flashing in the sun, they poured westward across the desert, through the mountains, came at last into the thirsty streets of Pasadena, 225 miles away. The Colorado had not changed its course. The cool stream flowing over the desert and through the mountains was a man-made river, a giant aqueduct created to carry water to the semi-arid cities of Southern California's coastal plain...

The first communication to the audience may be anything from a grin to an inimitable gargle -- one of those special Nock guttural noises denoting pause and hesitancy. Then a stream of words buried from comprehension by three factors: their own weightiness, the accent and the moustache. Gaining confidence before the note-laborers, Nock figures it is time to give them a show. And so he changes his glasses, fumbles for a page in a book, jots down a few notes...
