First of all, until the war in Vietnam is ended, no money will be available to fight the war against pollution. As long as war, feeding a huge corporate military-industrial complex, continues to dominate our budget allocations, only a few showy schemes, financed with paltry sums, motivated by public opinion polls, will be initiated by the politicians in Washington...
...responsible for his own special news beat. Week in and week out, they keep watch on the man in the White House, the men on the Hill, and on all the personalities and machinery of government and politics. Sometimes their stories stand alone.

The hotel and apartment interiors, however, are elegantly decorated, with heavy emphasis on Knoll and Herman Miller furniture. One of the highlights of the main complex of buildings is a combination restaurant, coffee shop and discothèque, done in Plexiglas and effectively brightened by blue lacquer paint. The lift station houses a giant téléphérique (capacity: 60); in all, there are ten lifts and 35 miles of well-balanced runs...
