That paper reported that twenty-six lakes have been found beneath the Sahara desert.  The American space shuttle “Columbia” determined by echoes it received that there are miles and miles of

                    PRESS ON
Press on. 
Nothing in the world 
Can take the place of persistence. 
Talent will not; 
Nothing is more common 
Than unsuccessful men

                    According to the Associated Press, "Philippine troops went house to house Thursday threatening to use force to move hundreds of residents from the steaming slopes of a lava-spilling volcano.
