...issue in November, the Republicans would dearly like to make it one. Toward that end, the House Republican Conference last week issued a 37-page indictment of Lyndon Johnson's conduct of the war. In it, the Republicans did their agile best to sail with the doves and swoop with the hawks...
...Swell Swoop. "People," says Lakebuilder Thomas J. Perine, chairman of Indianapolis' U.S. Land, Inc., "have the same motivation to go to water as birds have to fly south in the winter." Perine, 34, is capitalizing on that motivation all across the country by building lakes, then selling off the land around them for residential resort use. The lakes are no little waterholes. The Four Sea sons project will have 288 acres of water in four lakes, with twelve miles of shoreline. Since hitting on the idea three years ago, Perine has already finished lakes of similar size outside Cleveland...
Perine starts with a rural valley near a metropolitan center that is fed by a fresh water stream which can be readily dammed. He makes his lakes in one swell swoop that takes less than a year and keeps speculators from driving up the prices. In that time, he puts in the roads and services and, as a fillip, adds country clubs, tennis courts and swim ming pools. Each project is carefully landscaped; there is some kind of permanent open space-lake, golf course or park-within a few hundred feet of every lot. To protect property values, deed restrictions...

...ended the debilitating war in Algeria and added a new dimension to Western handling of the "Third World"; he blew life into the Common Market, even if he chilled the aspirations of those who saw it as a way to political unity on the Continent. In one fell swoop, he disposed of France's colonies in Black Africa, and in the process salvaged stronger ties and greater loyalties with his former wards than any other ex-colonial power...
