...department would pick up several functions now performed elsewhere in the existing Washington energy Establishment. From Housing and Urban Development, it would get authority to set thermal efficiency standards for all buildings in the U.S.; from the Securities and Exchange Commission, power to regulate public utility mergers; from Commerce, responsibility over all programs to promote voluntary energy conservation in industry...
Adding to Arizonans' ire is the fact that CAP is 30% funded and 25% completed. More than 44 miles of canals, river crossings and tunnels have been built; a $900,000 intake dike and a thermal-fired generating plant have also been erected. If work is stopped, 650 engineers and construction workers will be laid off. "That's a damn poor way to create jobs," complained Democratic Congressman Morris Udall, who was on somewhat shaky ground in making the statement; he had not had CAP in mind when he signed a letter with more than 70 other Congressmen...
...ancient mariners, polar residents and all other serious outdoorsmen know well, simply heaping on clothes brings on the sweats-and the sweat can swiftly freeze.

Some hobbled, others seemed permanently hunched from their battle. The weary combatants had just completed the opening day of one of sport's most grueling events...
...figured we had to hire a train to take Plains to Washington," said Maxine. Now she had the train-and an $85,000 bill from Amtrak. As she settled into her seat, the ample Maxine also had a bottle of Taittinger champagne, a "pair of thermal underwear that would stretch around a live oak tree," and a new lowcut, black Inaugural dress. "We're going to tear up Pennsylvania Avenue," she chirped...
