...Quiet Place. This discovery gave a wholly new look to theories about the circulation of the Atlantic. The long-established notion of nearly stagnant ocean depths is now doubtful.

Ocean basins with ripple marks on their bottoms must have been stirred by currents at some time in their past, and they may be stirred still...
Fossil Volcanoes. Geologists and oceanographers who look to the ocean's bottom have found that the ocean is a gigantic museum, where geological specimens are preserved like flies in amber. Among the most interesting of these geological fossils are the guyots, the flat-topped extinct volcanoes that dot the Pacific floor. How did they get down there, the oceanographer asks.

Arthur J. Goldberg, the union's general counsel, phoned Labor Secretary James P. Mitchell in Washington while McDonald's let ter was still on the way, told him what was in it. Mitchell, who had been keeping in touch with both sides, got together with Vice President Nixon and White House Counsel Gerald Morgan and worked...
