...private retinue of physicians. Irazú has rated such attentions since March 13, 1963, when it started spouting enormous clouds of hot ash and became the country's top menace and tourist attraction (TIME, Jan. 17). Sightseers can park near the lip of the crater and actually stare down into the billowing pit. Usually the prevailing wind blows the ash away from the spectators, but last week Irazú took antitourist action.

"I do expect military haircuts," he begins, and the troops get restless. "Von Ryan," one agile wit calls from the ranks, "you're in the wrong army...
...greatest thing"--and only caring enough to act will make victory possible. The importance of caring was brought home to me during a sit-in at an expensive motel restaurant. As our group quietly sisted on being served, many of the white patrons gave us an impartial stare. Their blank unconcern was a major reason for our failure, and always will be. Yes, caring is the only thing...
