Writing in Science, the Miami seismologists argue that nuclear devices might relieve the stresses before they go on the rampage. Exploded two to three miles underground at intervals of twelve to 30 miles along a fault zone, the bombs would set off a series of relatively small shocks. Properly timed, these jolts would jog along the crust ever so slightly to release the forces working against it.

There lies Peru with its riches; here, Panama and its poverty. Choose, each man, what best becomes a brave Castilian. For my part, I go to the South.'" It was an epic moment, one of the many, in fact, that The Royal Hunt of the Sun shamelessly overlooks in favor of pop-psych melodramatics.
