Pulliam gave the readiest daily sign of his competitiveness on the golf course. He learned in Lebanon how to talk with the city establishment on the links, and he set a Quayle family pattern of buying homes that overlook the fairways. He liked year-round golfing, so he left Lebanon in the winter, first for Florida, then for Phoenix. He was an advocate of improvement, tourism and more golf courses for Phoenix long before he bought his paper there.

...readiest child of the week was the schoolgirl swimmer Janet Evans, 17, winsome, lithesome and as single-minded as a shark. She ditched the homework she brought from California, but plans to offer the excuse that she had to sing The Star-Spangled Banner three times.

Whatever their water problems, whatever sends them out to squabble with their neighbors, more often than not cities and nations have only themselves to blame. They squander their supplies in haphazard irrigation, pollute their readiest sources, and are casual about preparing for dry years. In 1950 a research team warned New York City that it would need additional water by 1970, recommended the installation of meters* and stringent measures to stop leakage in the aqueducts and water mains. A pumping station was built upriver on the Hudson, then dismantled as soon as the 1950-51 emergency was over. Nothing...
