Nothing, he feels, must stand in the way of satisfying the "ever-increasing need to expand the cultural resources of the Southwest-to go hand in hand with the vast technical and industrial development of the area."

To fill in the non-beginning and the non-middle, the dancing girls thrash around like palm trees in a tropical hurricane. A hurricane has a better plot...
