Gold believes htat dust and debris from the crater-building explosions filled in most of the older craters on the moon's surface. Since there is neither wind nor rain on the moon, the dust would stay more or less where it settled except when agitated by thermal or electrical disturbances. If such is the case, says gold, the dust could "flow over the surface like a liquid, running down the sides of cold craters to fill in the bottoms." Gold therefore believes that the moon's vast plains are not exposed layers of lava but oceans...
...public forms fascinated Marsh. For sardonic effect he sometimes reproduced in his paintings Manhattan's steady flow of tabloid headlines (DOES THE SEX URGE EXPLAIN JUDGE CRATER'S STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE?).

...most successful is The Crater (see cut), dominated by lava-black swirls in which prehistoric reptiles, ghostly riders and a whole flotsam of humanity are discovered like fossil imprints in a violently sheared rock...
...quarter-century ago this week, New York Supreme Court Justice Joseph F. Crater finished his dinner in Billy Haas's Manhattan restaurant, hailed a cab and rode off into the darkness. Although his disappearance was soon ranked as one of the most mysterious in the annals of U.S. missing persons,* Crater's wife Stella, 53, emerged only last week from her own self-chosen limbo (as a Brooklyn secretary) for her first press conference.

Mihara's suicide score has fallen since the war, but the volcano may become famed as the first whose eruptions can be predicted scientifically. Five years ago. Assistant Professor Tsuneji Rikitake of Tokyo University's Earthquake Research Institute started prowling around the warm rocks on its top crater, carrying apparatus to measure earth magnetism. Whenever he approached the hot crater, the strength of the magnetic field de creased appreciably...
