It built 18 big dams, stored water in 30 lakes and reservoirs, laid 5,200 miles of mains and pipes to feed the city's hidden lacework of metal capillaries. But World War II, which halted work on a new aqueduct, boosted the city's ever-rising population alarmingly. Last summer's grass-crisping drought did the rest...
...Rostov, a colorless little man who looked like a small-town schoolmaster, still firmly stood his ground.

According to Mr. Wright's manifesto, which is posted near the model, scenery is built below the stage and rises on ramps to the playing area, which is equipped with a revolving disk. The "fly gallery" above the stage is completely eliminated...
