From the Continental Divide to the Pacific shore, the Mexican border to the Arctic Ocean, only one statehouse remained in Democratic control last week. Even the lone holdout in Salt Lake City most likely would have fallen to the G.O.P. if Governor Calvin Rampton did not have two more years to serve. Of all the West's Democratic gubernatorial candidates, only Incumbent John Burns in Hawaii survived the pervasive Republican wind. Another possible Democratic winner is Alaska's William Egan, who withdrew an early concession in hopes that a recount and a tally of absentee ballots would return...
Milton is a pleasant suburban town on the South Shore with a large upper middle-class, well-educated Irish population. Milton went for Volpe, Brooke Richardson, and Sargent, but at the same time overwhelmingly chose two Democrats as representatives over two hard-fighting, attractive Republicans...
...rifles in their car. At the same hour, another platoon of policemen moved in on a Westchester County country house, which was flying a U.S. flag with 13 stars not far from its hillside fallout shelter; they found enough arms to fill a truck. In Syracuse, Brewerton, and Bay Shore, L.I., officers flushed more weapons by the score...
...Kilauea, the island's largest volcano crater. In an old B-25 bomber crammed with infra-red scanning equipment, they mapped the volcano's hot spots; then they enlarged their thermal survey by following two great rifts that led from the crater to the sea. Under the shore, and in nearby coastal waters, their infra-red detector revealed just the opposite of what they were searching for: large areas that were not hotter, but as much as 12° cooler, than their surroundings...
...findings: like an aerial divining rod, the infra-red scanner had spotted streams of cool, fresh rain water flowing out into the ocean. After completing the volcanic survey, the B-25 flew back and forth over Hawaii's entire coastline, eventually detecting a total of 219 shore areas that might have underground fresh-water springs. In one 5-sq.-mi. area in Hilo Bay, the scientists estimate, the discharge of fresh water amounts to 100 million gallons a day. Using the infra-red data, the U.S. Geological Survey has just published an atlas of Hawaii's coastal areas...
