...unique pair whirled through space, they offered an ideal test of Einstein's theory. According to general relativity, their movements should be accompanied by an emission of gravity waves. That faint radiation would be impossibly difficult to detect from earth. Still, if Einstein were right, the energy drawn from the orbiting bodies by those waves would cause a predictable effect: the two bodies, which spin around each other about once every eight hours at a velocity of 1.06 million k.p.h. (660,000 m.p.h.), would move ever closer, causing a shortening in their orbital period. The loss, to be sure, would...
Sometimes Ear picks up on a cause--not an earth-shattering cause mind you (Ear is not a crusader), but just important enough to let you know that Eat's heart (or ear trumpet) is in the right place.

It was lunch when it happened-you felt it at first, the Snow Pine lodge shook a little and the earth rumbled but there was nothing to see from the window. The earth shook, nothing, mind you, like California shook that winter in the earthquake. But it shook. And the phones started ringing...
...surprisingly the song isn't that dull. It's even refreshing to hear a love song presented with so little saccharine in the vocals. Granted, Kate sings the words "You're my earth and heaven" with as much conviction as if she were singing "You're my dentist and toothbrush." But the tune is nice...
