...posterity, it could be mentioned that Mr. Beck, one of the solider citizens of the clan, is leading the way these evenings at Agassiz. His decision to turn director encounters none of the flak that has struck dead certain other undergraduate actors with that bent.

Financier Chinn Ho's plan to develop apartments on the extinct volcano's seaward slope sparked an eruption...
