...earth's surface 115 miles square, one after another. (It takes 30,000 images to show the entire planet.) The satellite views each square in different colors, some seven different wave lengths in all, including several "invisible" infra-red frequencies. The images are sent as a stream of radio signals to earth stations, where they are assembled by a computer into full pictures. In many instances, scientists arbitrarily choose the final colors to represent a specific condition; for example, blazing red might indicate healthy crops, while black would mean ailing ones...

At least two bombs were dropped a few blocks from the central plaza. Floods of refugees started to stream from their homes carrying sacks of food, clothing and hammocks, as Red Cross ambulances, their sirens screaming, crept through the streets...

Hemingway, too, tested his loyalty. A letter full of praise for Hemingway but with a few criticisms will be followed by another trying to assuage an apparently enraged and resentful Pappy. He writes to Pound after years of insults. "I send you my affectionate regards and to hell with you if you won't accept them." And to Hemingway. "So you go & compose a long letter full of various ways...
