...crystals at the outer fringes of the atmosphere, the red atmosphere is largely invisible from above. But below the red spot, some scientists believe, there might be a giant meteor crater in the solid hydrogen surface of the planet. This crater, the NASA researchers suggest, may form a great vortex in the atmosphere that swirls the red-hued dye up through the cloud cover, thus creating Jupiter's distinctive red spot...
...Vortex of Battle. The Senate is the vortex of the trade battle because it must ratify agreements on grains and chemicals before the Kennedy Round tariff cuts can be implemented. Aware of this, a high-tariff bloc, concerned over competition from rising imports, got congressional attention first with measures designed to bypass the Round's tariff cuts, averaging 35%, with a system of stricter quotas on goods allowed into...

For 16 years he has stood in the dead center of a musical vortex and managed to conduct both himself and opera with admirable skill. Dragging opera by the scruff of the neck into modern times, demanding improvements in production techniques and performance quality, Bing has helped the art to achieve the Wagnerian ideal of Gesamtkunstwerk, the amalgamation of drama, singing, acting and dancing into total theater...
