The Senate's Youthful Make up and Power Balance
Critics say the Senate must modernize yet the body is surprisingly young. Two thirds elected since 1950, only Hayden traces to the Roaring Twenties. Southern Democrats form the veteran bloc, influence committee leadership, while Republicans stay outnumbered in post 1950 ranks. Newcomers reign in numbers but lack commensurate power.

Water shortages hit towns as pools go dry nationwide
A U S Geological Survey report shows over 1,000 cities rationing public water as residential use climbs to 150 gallons per day. Industry also consumes vast water, with steel production demanding about 70 thousand gallons per ton. By 1980 daily use could reach 150 billion gallons from 650 billion available. Authorities cite lack of facilities, not water abundance, and note remedies include new reservoirs, transmission lines, and five pilot sea-water desalination plants under construction.
