...Jordan's self-deprecation, however, the traffic in and out of his office in the White House's West Wing testifies to the growing range of his involvements. When Alfred Kahn is being coaxed away from the Civil Aeronautics Board to head the Administration's anti-inflation effort, that office is Kahn's last stop before visiting Carter.

If atmospheric voltage rises high enough, as under a thunderhead, the electrical resistance of the air breaks down and electrons flow from such pointed objects as a ship's mast, agitating nearby air molecules to produce a strong coronal light...
