That morning, Charles Whitman entered two more stores to buy guns before ascending, with a veritable arsenal, to the observation deck of the limestone tower that soars 307 feet above the University of Texas campus. There, from Austin's tallest edifice, the visitor commands an extraordinary view of the 232-acre campus, with its green mall and red tile roofs, of the capital, ringed by lush farm lands, and, off to the west, of the mist-mantled hills whose purple hue prompted Storyteller O.

The park service recently completed a ten-year, $600 million program that doubled the number of campsites in existing parks and added more than 100 visitor centers. Since 1961, however, the Government has enlarged the total system by barely 3%, adding 844,000 acres through the acquisition of such areas as Massachusetts' Cape Cod National Seashore and New York's Fire Island National Park. Cramped for space, the park service is encouraging tourists to make wider...
