But storms stay out at sea and veer East to run parallel to the coast normally. This one d idn't ... Isaac Cline was confident of his ability to predict the weather: he had new technology at his disposal, 'perfect science', and, like America itself, h e was sure that he was in control of his world, that the new century would be the American century, that the future was man's to command.
