Hearns was on first, and he simply demolished his little-known opponent. Hearns's jab is his most effective weapon--it sets up his jackhammer right hand. Baez caught about 30 Hearns jabs in each of the first three rounds, and his face was swollen as he began the fourth. Midway through the stanza, Hearns followed his jab with a straight right which made Baez's head snap like a speed bag. About 20 punches later, the referee stopped the bout...
...Vogel could not carry the party with him. The city's young people - their ranks swollen because Berlin residents get draft deferments - blamed the S.P.D. for an acute shortage of decent, affordable housing, and they rebelled against police suppression of those who protest on the streets against these conditions.

Almost as if to support some of those sentiments and set the stage for tighter Administration policy later, Treasury Secretary Donald Regan warned last week that unless the Government continued its drive against spending, interest rates and the federal budget deficit would sharply higher.

...with readings from seismographs and tiltmeters - which measure the swelling of the earth's surface - scientists have determined that the eruption was triggered by a magnitude5 earthquake that shook the mountain on May 18, the day of the volcano. The tremor dislodged a flank of the mountain already swollen from rising semimolten rock. A huge hunk of the mountain rumbled downhill like a great sliding door, uncovering rock saturated with compressed gases. Exposed to the air, the gases exploded. Geologists are encouraged by the fact that the lava dome that has been forming in Mount St. Helens' crater...
