...chimney stacks along the St. Nicolaas beach on Aruba no longer belch smoke into the luminous tropical air. After 60 years of refining more than 6.5 billion bbl. of crude, including 1 out of every 16 bbl. of aircraft fuel used by Allied forces in World War II, Exxon's Lago refinery, once the largest in the world, will shut down this week. The closing marks the end of an era in the world oil industry and spells trouble for the 70-sq.-mi. Caribbean island.

...encounter in Part I is at the Troll King's lair. As half the floor of the Guthrie opens upward like the hold of a cargo ship, white fumes belch forth as from an anteroom to hell. The trolls are quite droll. They are dressed in inky black frock coats and robes, their heads are chalk-white and they sport Miss Piggy snouts.
