...Brandeis quintet had gone into its swan song and had yet to emerge from the profound torpor. In a singular exhibition of botched marksmanship, the Judges repeatedly rent the oxygen with reckless abandon from any and all points on the floor, as their shooting percentage rivalled the life expenctancy of starved fruit flies...
...snow and weakened several large rock outcroppings; they warned that as much as 40 million cu. yds. of rock, a mass three times greater than that of Grand Coulee Dam, could break loose, slide into the lake and trigger flooding. In September, researchers from Eastern Washington State College, wearing oxygen masks to protect them from the sulfurous fumes, made their way through cave passages in a 140-ft.-thick layer of ice and snow to reach the center of the crater. There they found a football-field-sized lake of steaming acid, some of which is leaking into streams...

In the home of the Wingfields, modeled on Williams' own, there is the memory of the absent father, the telephone-company man who "fell in love with long distance."

But the prime suspects in the high incidence of respiratory ailments in urban and industrial areas are sulfur dioxide and other pollutants given off by automobile tailpipes or industrial smokestacks...
