Needless to say, the big news in the Constitution State in the last eighteen hours has been the explosion at a power plant under construction in Middletown. The Courant isn't kidding when it reports that the blast was heard miles and miles away. Mrs. Monocle and I were in church in North Madison when it occurred, and the entire congregation thought someone had fainted in the balcony and hit the floor hard.

This is a story that'll last for years.
