As som eone else said, th e d ea th of G eorge R ush is like lights out for B rookings. But it is precisely because of G eorge th a t th e lights of B rookings will not go out In his y ears here, he built an elec trical system w hich has been m odel of d ep endability . . . so m uch so th a t the days of th e long o u ta g e s a re alm ost forgotten.
