...dangerous. But in bomb-bitten Japan, where radiation watching is something of a national hobby, rooftop Geiger counters started clicking ominously. Scientists caught rain water to measure its activity, and jets brought samples down from the sky. About 30 hours after the explosion the radiation count at Niigata, 180 miles north of Tokyo, rose from zero to 30,000 micromicro-curies per square meter of ground. The level at Tokyo's Institute of Meteorological Research rose from the normal 100 micromicrocuries per square meter to 120,000. This level is the highest since the big Russian test...
...silence of the News and the Free Press has hurt Romney less than it has hurt Neil Staebler, his Democratic opponent, who needs a big-city sounding board because Democratic office seekers must count on a heavy Wayne County majority (Detroit and suburbs) to offset the strongly Republican vote elsewhere in the state.

Faustus holds the same views, but this time the play moves in exactly the opposite direction. Here religion is a dominion of implacable law reducing man and his will to a broken toy; and it is knowledge that is tainted with evil. Through Satan's agent Mephistophilis (James Ray), the learned Dr. Faustus (Lou Antonio) makes a pact with the Devil. He wills his soul to eternal damnation for 24 years...
