...human-and eloquent-by scattered farmhouses and fences. Man's hand is clearly benevolent there. Soon another marvelous photo captures a church on a cross-crowned hill. Despite its almost biblical overtones, the scene is catapulted into the present by the true nature of the crosses-actually a telegraph pole and a highway sign -and by adjacent State Highway No. 7, apparently a road to nowhere.

The affair centers on the charge, flatly disputed by all officials involved, that the Justice Department in 1971 settled an antitrust case against the International Telephone and Telegraph Corp. on relatively favorable terms to the company shortly after ITT had pledged up to $400,000 to support the 1972 Republican National Convention.

ITT has put some thought into planning: residential areas will be separated by greenbelts, and all houses (only 180 built so far) will be hooked up to company-owned water and sewage plants. But ITT can harvest timber from a buyer's lot until his payments are completed, leaving him with the cost of removing stumps...
