...Some of our water has been supplied to people by private companies for years. The great amount of it is done under public authorities, and many of them tell us they would be able to run very much more efficiently if they were able to run their own operation. Also we shall then embark upon privatizing electricity, which you ((in the U.S.)) are used to. And then we'll have a look at other things and see how best we can bring them onto the market -- always, I must say, giving the people who work in those enterprises the first...

Still, many people flocking into the megacounties consider them a close-to- ideal blend of city and suburb. "There are few things you can't do here within an hour," says Orange County Teacher Greg Hickman. "You can head to the mountains, the desert, the water or a shopping center." Agrees Gemma Turi, a public relations consultant who switched from commuting into Los Angeles to a new job in Irvine, near her home in Newport: "It's like being on vacation except you get to live here...
