...that it is supposed to watch everything that moves in the Caribbean, the U.S. quickly announced that the chances of the Anzoátegui reaching Castro's snug harbor "are remote." But where was the freighter? The Navy said that it had checked 400 ships without finding a trace...
...that period beginning roughly 1,000,000 years ago when he was forced to adapt to fierce variations in climate, and when the brutalities of nature hastened his evolution from the apes. Dating the period precisely has always been difficult. On land, erosion has obliterated almost all trace of the Pleistocene's earliest glaciers. On most parts of the cold, quiet ocean bottom, where remnants of prehistory have survived, ancient sediments have piled up too deeply for convenient study. The cylindrical cores that have been brought up have not reached down to layers deposited at the beginning...

Along the main street, a dozen business places have shut up shop; the owners of many others would gladly sell out if there were any buyers around.

...mushroom-shaped cloud with a massive fireball rose 12,000 ft. in the air. In the city beneath, buildings of all sizes and materials were flattened to a charred plain. It was impossible to tell where streets had been. People vanished without a trace. Others became black fleshless bones protruding from ruins. This happened not in 1945 but in 1917-in Halifax, N.S. It was the largest man-made explosion before Hiroshima...
