Following a powerful jolting earthquake felt across a large swathe of the Bay of Napoli,Vesuvius erupts into a mighty conflaguration shortly after mid-day. Drusus' worst fears are realised. Rock,pumice and ash are thrown many miles into the air in a towering grey cloud that hazes the summer sun and falls heavily over the towns of Pompeii,Herculaneum,Stabeii and Oplonti, and even reaching as far as the Imperial residence at Misenium. Empress Julia allows the Imperial barge to be used by the admiral,Pliny the Elder in a rescue flotilla to the affected towns. The Imperial family can only look on in horror as Vesuvius rips itself apart,belching forth a terrifying sight of a massive column of ash,fire and pumice now reaching an unimaginable height and size up into the afternoon sky,blotting out the sun and turning day into night,illuminated only by the fiery glow of lava spewing out of the summit and down Vesuvius' slopes..and lightning raging high in the ash cloud like a violent storm.The Imperial family are pushed to flee Misenium as thick choking ash falls down around them,and tremors rake the earth. Fearing that the route out across land would be too dangerous,Empress Julia awaits for the royal barge to return in hopes to escape by sea...a delay that leads to fateful consequences.. As night falls,almost un-noticed in the eery darkness of the volcanic ash cloud,a massive explosion rips across the bay.The Imperial family look on in horror as the towering cloud high over Vesuvius seems to collapse under its own weight and falls down the mounts sides to crash upon the calamitous towns of Pompeii,Herculanuem and Oplonti a deadly raging pyroclastic flow to smother and burn its poor populous that had left it too late to flee Vesuvius devastating eruption.The screams and the terrifying sights are painfully plain to see and hear even several miles across the bay at Misenium...But not even Misenium is safe. The deadly Pyroclastic flow billows out into the open waters,boiling alive those who thought to take refuge in the harbour caves,in the waters and in the boats in the bay.including much of the flotilla.It does not reach Misenium,already savagely ripped by tremors,but something almost as deadly and invisible to see,...does. Poisonous gases are blown upon the city. Pliny the Elder,awaiting to board his boat on the shore,literally falls down dead..People,even the brave Praetorians, panic and flee with the Imperial family coated in choking ash. The Empress Julia,with her daughter Livia and son Drusus under her cloak flee behind a high wall for safety...
A while later..while Vesuvius is still belching out lava and fire,but the worst thought to be over,a small surviving detachment of Praetorians attempting to protect the Imperial family, find Julia huddled with her children by the wall.The children are roused from under their mothers cloak and look up to their mother.Her beautiful face is smeared with ash and dirt,but her blue eyes stare unseeing..Sadly,the Empress Julia did not survive their night in hell..

US forces capture two men reportedly connected to the Bush assasination. The men are fighters in the militia of Muqtada al-Sadr. Reporters quickly note they have no direct al-Qadea ties. Cheney again defends his statement, saying he never claimed there was “a direct al-Qadea connection”, but that al-Sadr has been linked to al-Qadea. However, this is inconsistent with his earlier statement which claimed the assassination was a direct al-Qadea action. Clips of Cheney’s first statement, and his second are run back-to-back on most of the news shows that evening. MSNBC host Joe Scarborough introduce the second clip after viewing the first saying “Here’s the President saying there was no direct connection... I can’t even say it with a straight face.”

Over 1000 HELIOS operatives (the name of the color-codeword secret organization of space-based reconaissance run by the United States) now spend at least a year in orbit at one of seven facilities: Crater Asada (moon base, population 250, self-sufficient except water), Harmony Station (orbiting Mars, population 250, self-suficient except water), Quicksilver (built into a well-shaded point of Mercury as a solar observation post and military research facility, pop. 150) Bear's Tail (Station at geosynchronous orbit directly above Kharbarovsk, population 100), Bear's Head (Station at geosynch orbit directly above Smolensk, population 100), Asteroid Alpha (drilled directly into an asteroid approx. two miles by six miles, pop. 100), Asteroid Beta (drilled into an asteroid three miles by one mile and almost directly opposed to Alpha, pop. 75). Russia has similar facilities that are much more spartan but only the main orbital facility above New York City is self-sufficient. Though the Russians may have a lead in the official space race the real one is much closer. Russia also deploys the Piotr I, the first SEM craft designed specifically for planetary travel.

The Axis Conference is held at Berchtesgaden, Germany. Chancellor Adolf Hitler welcomes to his Alpine retreat President J. Edgar Hoover of America, High Chancellor Maurice Duplessis of Canada, Premier Benito Mussolini of Italy, Prime Minister Hideki Tojo of Japan, and President Daniel Malan of South Africa. Between them, these men control, either by military force or by the more subtle form of corporate corrupton, most of the world. They agree to assist each other in enforcement. Duplessis has no problem deporting political prisoners to America's concentration camps or Jews to Hitler's Third Reich. Malan has no problem sending troops to the former British and French colonies of Africa in hopes of establishing a puppet regime that covers most of the continent -- at least, that part not already directly controlled by either Germany or Italy. While they are gathered, word reaches them that Mohandas "Mahatma" Gandhi, Indian nationalist, has died in his cell in Dehli. "How did he die, killing, natural causes, suicide?" asks Hoover. "I don't care," says Hitler. "Nor do I," says Malan, in whose country Gandhi had once practiced law and launched his movement for greater rights for people of color in the former British Empire.

Democratic National Convention: an extremely complicated affair, as the Cold War seems to be dying out in favor of the west and the economy is in good shape. Four people seek the nomination, Senator Robert Kennedy of New York, representing the Northwest, former Governor George Wallace of Alabama, representing the South, Senator Eugene McCarthy of Minnesota, an anti-war candidate opposing the wars in Vietnam and Indonesia, and also from Minnesota, the man who finally gets the nomination, Senator Humbert Humphrey. As for the vice-presidential nomination, it goes to Senator George Smathers of Florida, so as to provide some geographical balance to the ticket. Eugene McCarthy and the anti-war faction of the party walks out of the convention, threatening with a third party candidacy that would split the party. George Wallace of Alabama, on the other hand, rather than running on his own, decides to throw his support behind President John Wayne, a republican that nevertheless shares Wallace's strong anti-communist stand.
