...took a month before the pot began to boil. On Thursday, July 23, leaflets began circulating around the Square urging people to celebrate the anniversary of Fidel Castro's July 25 attack on the Moncada Barracks by holding a "block party" on the Common that Saturday night. Although it did not say so explicitly, the leaflet clearly implied that those who came should be prepared to celebrate violently...

After the HEW report was issued, Government health officials followed up by advising 35,555 Vermonters served by 69 "undesirable" systems to boil their water before drinking...

Unable to empty out the tank during tests at the Cape, NASA technicians applied 65 volts to the heater, trying to boil off the semiliquid oxygen. The voltage fused the inadequate 28-volt cutoff switches, allowing the temperature in the tank to rise to 1000° F. and damaging the Teflon insulation on the wires. This led to the arcing that occurred during the mission. Why did the Cape Kennedy technicians have to resort to this untried procedure for emptying the tank? Because, said the panel, the tiny tube through which oxygen is fed in and extracted had probably been...

But they can scarcely force the Nixon government to resign and face general elections. U.S. politics are designed for the slow boil, not the blow-up.
