Instead, it published a two-art article by a young journalist with the pleasantly déjà-vu name of Tom Wolfe.

San Francisco is quickly reduced to piles of rubble, the Golden Gate and Bay bridges col lapse, skyscrapers topple like children's blocks, the freeways crumple into bent, twisted auto graveyards.
