...Sometime Friend is a new play by a Boston playwright, Lealie Hurley, and has a local setting. Two friends bump into each other, a common situation around here, and--another common situation--one of them can't place the other. In the course of trying to figure out just who one of these people is, the play explores all the different personas he has adopted, concentrating heavily on the lost idealism of the 60s. Presented by the People's Theatre of Cambridge, 1253 Cambridge St. In human square, performances through August 31, Friday and Sunday at 7:30 and Saturday...
...film 2001. Gliding silently 140 miles high over the Atlantic, the U.S. Apollo made its slow, gingerly approach to the beetle-shaped Soviet Soyuz, whose features appeared so clearly on TV screens that sunlight could be seen glinting off its winglike solar panels. Then came the slight bump as the two ships, now somewhere over the North Atlantic, made contact. "We have succeeded!" Apollo Commander Tom Stafford exulted in awkward Russian. Replying in English, Soyuz's skipper Aleksei Leonov exclaimed, "Soyuz and Apollo are shaking hands. Good show...

"If that happens," a Western military observer in Beirut predicted last week, "there will be a bump - and I don't see how it could be localized. There's too much hardware around on both sides and too much emotion. Events will simply take over...
...geologists can only guess what stirred up the wide-ranging eruptions. Possibly, they resulted from a sudden increase in plate tectonic activity-the process in which the great plates that form the earth's surface bump, jostle and sometimes slide underneath each other, carrying the continents along with them. This activity often arouses the earth's volcanoes, most of which lie near plate boundaries. The core evidence discovered by Kennett and Thunell has given further weight to a viewpoint shared by an increasing number of scientists: that all major changes occurring in or above the earth-including variations...
