...billion-dollar water project would have turned Cheesman Canyon into a vast man-made lake, covering an area between two forks of the South Platte River known to outdoorsmen as the "St. Peter's Basilica of trout fishing." The EPA decided to block the dam because it would destroy a valuable wildlife and recreational area. Colorado officials condemned the decision as "shortsighted." But biologist Carse Pustmueller of the National Audubon Society applauded the move. "The project is absolutely not viable under the Clean Water Act," said Pustmueller.

Germs, it seems, are being toughened by higher beings for the rigors of space travel; and human society -- Mozart, mutant turtles and all -- has amounted...
...starched table linens. You can see, if you open your mind's eye, a lone Navajo saluting the Super Chief as it pulls into Albuquerque; buffalo racing alongside the Empire Builder in Montana. On board there are movie stars and Senators, Vanderbilts and Astors dining on fresh- caught trout...
