...Geological Survey scientists mapped only a 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. Says St. Louis University Geophysicist Sean-Thomas Morrissey: "You can't go out and stick your finger in the fault like in California...
...Ford child who most shuns life in official Washington is Steve, 19, who is currently off in Montana's Scapegoat Mountains, studying grizzly bears with John Craighead, professor of forestry and zoology at the University of Montana. So remote is the group's location that supplies-and even letters from the White House-can only be carried in by mule and packhorse every ten days. The shyest of the four children, Steve may also be the most physically daring. Taking time off after high school to work at a ranch, he has spent recent months roping, riding, broncobusting...
Grizzly!, the first special in the National Geographic Society series, focused mostly on 51-year-old twin brothers, Frank and John Craighead, a pair of wildlife biologists who track, drug, tag, and record the habits of grizzlies in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks. Best shot: a bear wakes with a roar from his drug-induced slumber and charges head-on into the side of the Craigheads' car.

When he was young, fortune smiled on Thomas Craighead Buntin of Nashville, Tenn., but he was disconsolate. He was a rich man's son; he had a $300-a-month job as the nontoiling, unfirable general manager of his grandfather's insurance business, drew a $200-a-month allowance from his doting mother, had a pretty and loving wife, three children, two cars, social position and all the creature comforts. By the time he was 28, nevertheless, he seemed to be fizzing toward self-destruction like a lighted skyrocket...
