Japanese seismologists detected the first rumblings last May. Since then, fishermen in the area have reported giant explosions and great whirlpools in the sea. Now the source of all this spectacular activity in the Pacific, 590 miles south of Tokyo, has come into view. With a series of deafening explosions, a newly born volcano has reared out of the sea, adding another small island to the Iwo Jima chain. After flying over the belching volcano last week, Japanese officials reported that the northern edge of the doughnut-shaped crater has risen some 160 ft. above sea level and the southern...

At the Transradio telex office in Santiago, an amiable military officer serving as censor was so anxious to avoid talk about "revolution" that he cut out references to it in a personal message that one correspondent sent to a colleague in Tokyo.

Raph, a veteran of the Six-Day War, observed that he had never seen precision bombing and strafing to match the Chilean air force raid on La Moneda...
High Pique. No one seemed more astounded by the President's latest turnabout than his chief economic adviser, Treasury Secretary George Shultz, who happened to be attending an international trade meeting in Tokyo. Normally granite calm in any circumstance, Shultz put on a show of high pique from across the Pacific. Laird, said Shultz, "can keep his cotton-pickin' hands off economic policy." The tax plans described by the domestic-affairs chief were "out of tune with everything that had been discussed" before Shultz left on his trip. Moreover, said the Treasury Secretary, "Laird always sounds off about...
