...mayor compared his job to that of a poet who must "walk the edge of a volcano" trying to analyse the prevailing social currents. Saying that there is always going to be injustice in the world. Alioto urged students "not to give up" and "try as best we can to ameliorate the problems...
...scientists have every reason to be happy. In photographs of the U.S. West, for example, geologists discovered previously unknown faults in California's Monterey region. They also spotted remnants of an old volcano near Reno, Nev., that seems to be undergoing gradual uplifting by subterranean forces.

Off Cape Cod, the satellite quickly showed oceanographers what changes currents are causing in the topography...

...Like a medical specimen preserved for its representative qualities. Miller has been yanked off the shelf to be a symbol of something Smith's readers need, the rebel artist and the great sexual emancipator.

Smith's a pictures reach a crescendo of inanity with a shot of Miller playing ping pong with a naked Playmate...
