...brothers had managed the nearly impossible stunt ten times in practice sessions over the past year, and they had tried doing it at every performance since Dec. 29, when the Ringling Bros, and Barnum & Bailey Circus opened its 112th season. Charley Baumann, the circus' performance director, had seen them fail so many times that he too was stunned when they finally succeeded. He ran to the phone and called the show's producers, Irvin and Kenneth Feld, in Washington. "They asked me why the hell I was calling after midnight," he told TIME's Paul Krueger...
...warning bell was the observation by Seismologist Alan Ryall of the University of Nevada of volcanic-type earthquake activity. In 1980 the shallowest quakes were originating at a depth of about 3 miles. By last summer, they were occurring only 2 miles below the surface. Roy Bailey, coordinator of the U.S.G.S.'s volcanic hazards program, suggests that the quakes were caused by the slow upward movement of a tongue of magma-the hot molten rock that forms a volcano's lava. Still another sign: the outbreak of new steam vents, or fumaroles, in the seismically active region...

And the lovely Jennifer...
Devils or not, Dershowitz has been called into cases, often on appeal, by a long list of people in serious trouble. Among them are Nursing Home Operator Rabbi Bernard Bergman ("the meanest man in New York," suggested the Village Voice), Patricia Hearst, F. Lee Bailey, a few alleged Mafiosi, Soviet Dissident Anatoli Shcharansky and Deep Throat Star Harry Reems. Now, in addition to helping Von Bülow, Dershowitz is likely to take on the appeal of Jack Henry Abbott, the inmate-writer who was convicted of manslaughter after Author Norman Mailer and others had helped to get him paroled...
