...EQUALITY: Are Women Really for It? No, says Rutgers Anthropologist Lionel Tiger. His new book Women in the Kibbutz (Harcourt Brace Jovanovich; $10.95), written with Israeli Anthropologist Joseph Shepher, argues that traditional sex patterns are so strong they have even overwhelmed the declared ideology of sexual equality in Israel's rural collectives...
Part of the truth about the early novel is pathetically simple: with classic mistiming, Gaddis' publishers (Harcourt, Brace) changed management, and the momentum so necessary at a book's coming out was broken...
...pages. Harcourt Brace Jovanovich...
Both effects seemed related to a phenomenon called dilatancy-the opening of a myriad of tiny, often microscopic cracks in rock subjected to great pressure. Brace even suggested at the time that the physical changes associated with dilatancy might provide warning of an impending earthquake, but neither he nor anyone else was quite sure how to proceed with his proposal. Dilatancy was, in effect, put on the shelf...
...Russian discoveries reawakened interest in the subject. Geophysicist Christopher Scholz of Lamont-Doherty and Amos Nur at Stanford, both of whom had studied under Brace at M.I.T., independently published papers that used dilatancy to explain the Russian findings. Both reports pointed out an apparent paradox: when the cracks first open in the crustal rock, its strength increases. Temporarily, the rock resists fracturing and the quake is delayed. At the same time, seismic waves slow down because they do not travel as fast through the open spaces as they do through solid rock. Eventually ground water begins to seep into...
