...case, Steele hardly seemed to herald another Ice Age, which, according to the direst predictions, is not due for another 10,000 years. In fact, the glacier appeared to be tearing itself apart, and, in the view of McGill University Meteorologist Dr. Svenn Ortig, "is doomed. It will stop, stagnate, and in due time melt." No one, however, knew when or how long Steele would keep going in the meantime. Fortunately, it posed no immediate threat to human life.

If the Miami merger succeeds, the big gainer will be the city. The alternative is a one-paper town, which Cox and Knight are trying to avoid. Each publisher feels that Miamians should hear more than one editorial opinion...
