...small section of this fault zone-in Arkansas' Mississippi and Craighead counties-but they suspect it continues north for some 100 km (62 miles), through Arkansas and northwestern Tennessee. There the fault system veers off past New Madrid and probably continues into southern Illinois. In all, the scientists count about half a dozen associated faults, although their data are still sketchy.

...school committee seats and four of nine city council slots. The CCA vote percentage was much higher than usual. David Sullivan, the CCA's rising star, finished far better than any liberal candidate in history, topping the total necessary for election by more than 200 votes on the first count--an unheard-of feat.
