...Nanette made them commonplace, the already sumptuously scored Anything Goes was packed with still more memorable melodies from Cole Porter's mind-boggling output. Now, in one show, we have the title song, "You're the Top," "It's DeLovely," "Friendship," "I Get a Kick Out of You," "Blow, Gabriel, Blow," "Take Me Back to Manhattan," and lesser known though equally delightful gems like, "Let's Misbehave," and "Heaven Hop."

...recent work by Caltech scientists-using ultraprecise radio telescopes as measuring instruments and signals from distant quasars (see following story) as benchmarks-shows that there has been relative motion of up to 20 cm. (8 in.) in only three years between the opposing plates just south of the San Gabriel mountains. That motion, which may be rapid by San Andreas standards, also mystifies the researchers.
