...system particularly suitable for the missile bases. From local deep wells, highly mineralized water will soon be pumped into a dozen desalting units with a daily capacity of 500,000 gallons, enough to supply a town of 5,000. That amount of water is only a drop in the bucket to the U.S. as a whole. But the significance of desalinization research goes beyond its immediate importance to national defense, looks ahead a scant 20 years, when Americans will be using 600 billion gallons of water a day-more than today's readily available supply...
...Magnificent Seven (United Artists) suggests that, after many a disappointment with Hollywood and television westerns, U.S. reviewers and distributors are so saddle-sore and range-blind that they cannot tell a ring-tailed snorter from a bucket-foot mule. Greeted by a flurry of inattention from the critics, this western has been hastily remaindered into the neighborhood circuits in the hope that it will soon get profitably lost in the Christmas rush. The loss will be bearable: Seven is not a great picture-not nearly as good as the Japanese Magnificent Seven (TIME, Dec. 10, 1956), the brilliant episode...
...which rank as classic. The romantic view is "that man is intrinsically good, spoilt by circumstances"; the classical "that he is intrinsically limited, but disciplined by order and tradition to something fairly decent.

Hulme insisted that the logical extension of romanticism in politics...
Last week President Philip Sporn of the American Electric Power Co. Inc. announced that his company has adopted a new "bird" technique of working on high-tension lines. The lineman does not climb the tower. Instead, he sits in a plastic bucket and is raised to the wire by a truck-mounted boom made of insulating fiber glass. When he reaches the wire, he clamps to it a cable that is connected to metal mesh lining the bucket. This operation sounds suicidal, but it is not. The current moves into the mesh, charging it along with the lineman...
...movement began two years ago in a lipstick-colored room called the Red Garter. This year the sound of strumming has spread throughout the Bay Area (one banjo bar has already opened in Los Angeles, and no other U.S. city can feel absolutely safe). Despite names like the Honey Bucket and the Purple Girdle, Greater San Francisco's six banjo bars are respectable, all-beer niteries with red-checked tablecloths. Says one waiter: "We'll match college degrees with any bar in town...
