...House Interior Committee, Mo Udall has clout where it counts, and he used it. Last week he joined the contingent of irate Arizona officials, including Governor Raul Castro, who appeared in Washington to press the case for CAP. For 40 years, the state has been battling to tap the Colorado. Without the water, says Udall, with his customary flair, Tucson and Phoenix "are going to dry up and blow away...

The second act, like the first, is a monologue, this time by the president. At least Johnny Carson gets to tap dance if his jokes bomb; Making can only suffer through his pointless lines...
