...still relatively unpolluted; massive garbage disposal in it has been halted. It is still, thanks to its tributaries, a major spawning habitat for Pacific salmon, and its mud flats are a vital source of food to many fish and ocean birds. Its waters provide the Bay Area with a natural year-round air-conditioning system. All this would be destroyed if the bay were diminished. The bay's would-be protectors also point out that the nine surrounding counties encompass more than 7,000 square miles, largely undeveloped, and have no real need to expand inwardly into...
WASHINGTON, D.C. June 30--Resurrection City is gone now. Last Monday it nearly cost Washington a riot to get rid of it, but it is gone. And West Potomac Park, rich with mud and rubble, is West Potomac Park again...

But at least one-third of an estimated 3,000 residents pulled out of it as more than two inches of rain fell during one 30-hour period, blanketing the once-grassy meadow with a six-inch impasto of mud.

Fermented Porridge. While roaming those uplands, Braidwood found considerable supporting evidence: long-buried mud-hut villages, fossilized remains of cultivated wheat and barley, bones of such domesticated animals as goats and sheep, and clay figurines of fertility goddesses, some voluptuous, others Twiggy-shaped. Of the 50 artifacts in the display, many of the most interesting come from his initial find at Jarmo. a cluster of some 20 simple dwellings in Iraqi Kurdistan that may well be one of the world's original farming communities. The Jarmoites did not leave a recorded history, but there is no doubt about their...
