Although scientists are powerless to prevent earthquakes, they have high hopes that they can some day forecast them with reasonable accuracy. That day may not be far off. By carefully measuring movements along the San Andreas and nearby smaller faults, Seismologist Renner Hofmann says, he has successfully predicted recent California earthquakes. To prove that he is not merely displaying scientific hindsight, Hofmann has issued a new U.S. quake-cast. Within the next 18 months, he predicts, earthquakes of at least moderate intensity will rock areas near Santa Cruz and south of Bakersfield...
Between Two Points. A team led by Hofmann developed the quakecast method hile investigating fault zones for the California Department of Water Resources, which is understandably co cerned about the effects of earth slip page and quakes on its vast system of pumping plants, dams and aqueducts...

Like many a commission before it, this one too could of course turn into a way of hiding the real problems and blunting criticism. If anyone believes that it may be a crowbar with which to pry Harvard completely out of its connection with the government and the war, I am certani he is due for a disappointment. Nevertheless there exists a substantial middle range of worthwhile possibilities between these two extremes. In a sober, responsible...
...artist, who was born Marisol Escobar in Paris 36 years ago, of Venezuelan parents, studied in New York under the noted abstract expressionist, Hans Hofmann. Her much-sought-after work is in several U.S. museums, including Manhattan's Modern Art and the Whitney. She usually works more slowly than she did on her TIME commission, will spend as much as three months on a single piece in the company of her cairn terrier, Trolli...
...learning process; this has given rise to the slightly uneasy crack that in a few years "people won't ask you what books you're reading, but what drugs you're taking." Some of the drugs may be bubbling even now in the retorts of Dr. Hofmann, who was back in the Basel lab last week after receiving from Stockholm's Karolingska Institute an honorary degree for the discovery of lysergic acid diethylamide...
