Mining | A method of effecting extinction of mine fires using water or the effluent of chemical fire extinguishers. When a mine fire is readily accessible to the firefighting personnel, extinction of it may be achieved by direct application of some substance that will cool down the hot mass below its ignition temperature, or, in the case of oils, will arrest the volatilization process by sealing or emulsifying the oil surface.

Civil Liberties | Guatemala | In an interview published on June 4, Salvador Bonini, president of the Guatemalan Journalists Association, characterized the situation of the media as "not so much a conflict as a direct attack by television on the independent written press." On September 5, the President promised delegates from the Inter-American Press Society (IAPS) that the Government would auction off the frequencies of two national television channels, thereby ending the monopoly control of Angel Gonzalez.
