...John C. Higgins wrote or co-wrote the five noirish procedurals - Railroaded!, T-Men, Raw Deal, He Walked by Night and Border Incident - that lifted Mann from the bondage of B-minus musicals, got him hired by a major studio (the major, MGM) and form the bedrock of his current furtive eminence.

...Harvard that Boston’s thousand acres of man-made fill and river basins actually amplify seismic waves. According to Zanzerkia’s research, earthquake shocks that enter this softer ground become trapped and echo around the area rather than slowing to a stop as in hard bedrock. As a result, the force of the shock causes much more damage, putting Boston and Cambridge at risk of losing their most historic and populated districts. While Cambridge is located far away from the country’s deadliest fault lines, Harvard sits atop the world’s epicenter...
