By trenching through those layers to a depth of 15 ft., she has uncovered buried fissures formed by recurrent earth movements along the San Andreas. On average, that pattern repeats every 250 or so years, but "average" in this case covers a wide range. In one instance there appears to be a 600-year interval between quakes, in another...

Some are concerned about the disappearance of mental downtime to relax and reflect. Roberts notes Stanford students "can't go the few minutes between their 10 o'clock and 11 o'clock classes without talking on their cell phones. It seems...
