...news, say scientists, is that last week's tremors had only a mild impact on the San Andreas itself. The bad news is that they increased subterranean stresses closer by. Caltech geologist Kerry Sieh, for one, is worried that the violent release of energy may have adversely affected the Elysian Park system, a deeply buried network of thrust faults directly under Los Angeles. Parts of this system have lain dormant, Sieh says, "since before Abraham." But he cannot predict when the faults might awaken...
Student drama is a veritable institution. It ranks in the pantheon of other student activities, where the entire roller-coaster of the world diminishes into insignificance against the `student production.' We can, but we won't, talk of student journalism (dreadful), sports, films, politics and music.

Whatever one thinks of the movie itself, the man does know how to throw one heck of a tea party...
...particularly blithe spirit who joined the troupe last month, and Teresa Reyes, a recent incarnation of Balanchine's leggy ideal. In Memory of . . . ends with a homage to him. Farrell is carried offstage by Duell and Luders in the serene, lyrical "swimming" motion from Chaconne -- also set in Elysian fields...
