...Fireballs. Having thus tried Cleveland's spirit of hospitality, Witnesses turned to their own affairs. More than 2,500 of them, togged out in bathing suits, playsuits, pajamas or long underwear, waded hip deep into Lake Erie to be immersed backwards in its waters.

Chile's presidential campaign, made necessary by the death in June of President Rios, was under way in the sleet and snow of Andean winter. Torn by feuds and prides that cut as deep as cleavages among the leftists, conservatives could unite on no single man.

People in the bombed area might survive the blast in deep underground shelters, but the air sucked into the ventilating systems would surely bring in radioactive particles. And in any event they could not venture above ground for some time without tons of shielding...
