...show by dropping in a huge cobweb. This denial of a broad spectrum only serves to heighten the impact of the ensuing magnificent procession of Peers, fifteen strong, resplendently garbed and sporting rich velvet capes of different colors.

We made speeches in an available auditorium, stayed a couple of days...
...longtime chairman Aubrey ("Red") Wagner, eager to expand, had put down his critics. His credo: "Our job is to provide all the power consumers need at prices they can afford." Wagner's ally on the three-man board was William Jenkins, who complained bitterly about harassment by environmentalists and quit. But Jimmy Carter felt that the TVA had lost its sense of mission. It had, he complained, "become dormant and just another power company."
