Early the next morning-Labor Day -near Ash Fork, Ariz., Boggs killed both men with Flory's revolver and stole $29 and the Simca. Re-enacting the crime for Arizona authorities last week, Boggs said he tied both victims' hands and made them sit down on the ground. "At the time I had no real plans for shooting them," he said, "It just came into my head." Boggs shot Johnson once and Willis twice but, he said, Johnson got up and began running, yelling "Don't! Don't! Dont!" Boggs pursued...
...original fun. Skull-faced Jack Palance comes off as one of the most improbable-looking masterminds in the annals of crime, and Van Heflin is solid as the vengeful detective who turns out to have heart. But Thiefs best value is in the minor roles: John Davis Chandler, an ash-blond menace with a voice like a stripped gear, who seems to have difficulty getting his plum-size eyes open; Zekial Marko (who also wrote both the book and screenplay) an engaging loser who would obviously do anything to anybody; Tammy Locke a fearsome moppet, capable of a look...
...offshore, the battle for Van Tuong continued all through the night. One V.C. company tried to scramble down the cliffs and escape by sea, only to be blown to pieces by the Galveston's guns. Another company tried to break through to the west and was burned to ash by napalm. Finally, shortly after dawn, the leathernecks smashed the Van Tuong stronghold and slogged ahead toward their final goal, the beaches at the eastern end of the peninsula...
...positive charge before the next flash. This happened repeatedly without any thundercloud forming in the vicinity, proving that the volcano alone was generating the electricity. Just how it did this is still uncertain. In some cases, the positive electricity was created when a high-speed jet of ash-laden volcanic steam shot up through sea water; yet clean steam, formed when lava flowed quietly into the sea, also contained a charge. To satisfy themselves about the final details of the volcanic lightning generator, the scientists will have to brave a second and still closer look...
...plumes of steam and ash that rise from many volcanoes are often shot through with brilliant lightning flashes. But these violent bursts of electricity are usually blamed on conventional thunderclouds pushed up by the heat of the eruption. Curious to learn whether a volcano can make its own lightning, without "thunderclouds, a team of U.S. and Icelandic scientists studied the volcano that is forming the new island of Surtsey off the coast of Iceland. In Science, they report that they rode a fishing boat to within 250 yds. of the roaring vent, and flew in an airplane close...
