Its only serious problem, caused by the stubborn refusal of Woodside, a nearby suburb, to allow use of its land for SLAC's 200,000-volt power lines and towers, was resolved by Government intervention and esthetic power engineering. The AEC exercised the right of federal eminent domain and was fully supported by Congress and President Johnson. To soothe Woodsiders, power engineers designed and erected...
