Isaac inches into the cave, but not before he has arranged for delivery of a tape recorder and enough food to satisfy a hillside full of hungry sightseers. His report, when he squirms out. ensures that the gawkers will come: Jasper is pinned down by a boulder. As rescuers start drilling to the roof of the cave, Isaac spiels out a professionally emotional account into his tape recorder and fires it off to a radio station.* Soon...
