...bills-most notably, the House fails to provide for any public funding of congressional campaigns-which will be considered by a House-Senate conference committee early this month. A more critical question is whether President Ford, who, like Nixon, has opposed public funding of political campaigns, will sign or veto the resulting legislation...

If massive eruptions of lava were forcing the continents apart, Bryan says, the crews of the subs would have seen giant volcanoes like those in Hawaii. But they spotted only small mountains-a sign of minor uplifting by forces beneath the earth's crust.
