Volcanic Heat. A more colorful project is getting power out of "tamed volcanoes." Ley tells how the Italians have used volcanic steam in Tuscany for more than a century. New Zealand has recently drilled for steam and has already found enough of it to supply power for a city of 200,000 people.

By dint of talent and personality, Miss Haney overcomes the understandable audience disappointment at this deception and turns the routine into the evening's highpoint. She also sings the show's best novelty, "Hernando's Hideaway," a nonsensical little tango which she tears into with grim intensity. Since...
