...years the water level would gradually inch up to form an inland sea about half as big as Lake Erie. After that, the rapid evaporation in the hot desert air plus some seepage and regulation of the water intake would keep the level permanently some 150 ft. below sea level, providing the United Arab Republic with a perpetual source of power. Estimated cost of the project: $360 million...
...Lonely Island. A more serious complaint is that the tried and true New Yorker formulas of the 1920s and '30s are out of place in the 1960s.

It is unable to administer its affairs with vigor and dispatch." Such was the biting indictment of the Civil Aeronautics Board made by former CAB Member Louis Hector in his letter of resignation to President Eisenhower last fall. Last week this view was echoed-and then some-by the U.S. airline industry. The industry is beset by jet-age problems that cry for solution-and airmen feel that CAB is trying to solve them with...
