When it exploded, it gave little light, heat or blast, but it raised into the air a many-fingered fountain of dirt or shattered rock.

...Dale and her son Tom, then 20, were sitting in Hollywood's Fountain Avenue Baptist Church. "Mother, how is your soul?" the boy suddenly whispered. Recalls Dale: "I said it was all right, but I knew it wasn't. I knew I was groping." "Why don't you give yourself to Christ?" said Tom. Dale went home and decided to do just that...
