According to their scenario, some of the molten rock from the subterranean cauldron of magma under the mountain will slowly be forced upward, like toothpaste being squeezed out of a tube. It will push through the vents in the "plug" of debris within the volcano's throat and emerge as lava. When it is finally exposed to the air, the lava will harden rapidly; it will probably not have enough volume or velocity to overflow the volcano's rim. Instead, as it solidifies, it will likely form a dome or cap over the vents. Eventually the dome should...
...teaching school in a provincial Soviet town, living in obscurity, indeed in oblivion. His existence as a writer literally lay underground. In order to hide his work from the police, he buried two novels, One Day and The First Circle, two plays, a movie scenario and 12,000 lines of verse. All had been typed, single-spaced, on both sides of onionskin paper for easier concealment.

Carter's aides professed not to be worried by the defeat. Said Press Secretary Jody Powell: "There is no scenario by which Kennedy can win the nomination." This is hotly denied by Kennedy aides, who have drafted a strategy that depends less on delegate totals than on persuading the party that the President cannot win in November. Kennedy aides are counting first on big primary victories in urban states like California, New Jersey and Ohio. At the same time, they are making a concerted effort to recruit delegates nominally committed to Carter, arguing that the Administration's economic...
