Last year we visited a large modem factory where they make window glass. We first saw workmen mixing sand and other materials together in the right amounts. Then they added some broken glass to the mixture as this helps it to melt. They then fed the mixture into a big hot oven. At the far end of the oven, a stream of liquid glass came out. Here some men lowered a metal frame into the liquid. As the frame came up, it pulled away a hot sheet of glass. Special rollers took hold of the sheet at either side and carried it upwards. Our guide told us that at this stage it was necessary for the glass to cool slowly as this would make it very strong. At a height of 30 feet, the sheet of glass became cool and another machine cut it into big pieces which workmen stored away together. The glass was now ready for use.

One year ago we stared aghast at images
of the Southeast Asian tsunami. Video cameras taken on vacation to record the
everyday pleasures of the beach were suddenly turned to quivering utility as
they documented the panic and mayhem of a natural disaster. Who can forget the
disbelief in the recorded voices This can’t be happening to us. Human beings
are never prepared for natural disasters. There is a kind of optimism built into
our species that seems to prefer to live in the comfortable present rather than
confront the possibility of destruction, It may happen, we seem to believe, but
not now, and not to us. Mount Vesuvius has been erupting since historical
records began. The eruption of A. D. 79 both destroyed Pompeii and preserved it
for posterity. Pliny the Younger starkly recorded the details in prose that can
