...crew's youngest member is Lynn Silliman, 16, a 98-lb. coxswain from San Diego, who directs the boat with the aplomb of an old pro. The remainder of the crew comes from such schools as Radcliffe, Yale and Wisconsin. Excluding Silliman, they average an imposing...
...implication of that information was not lost on visiting Westerners. As soon as he returned home from Moscow, Lynn Sykes, head of the seismology group of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory, urged one of his students, a young Indian doctoral candidate named Yash Aggarwal, to look for similar velocity shifts in records from Lamont-Doherty's network of seismographs in the Blue Mountain Lake region of the Adirondacks, in upper New York State, where tiny tremors occur frequently...
With their new knowledge, U.S. and Russian scientists cautiously began making private predictions of impending earthquakes. In 1973, after he had studied data from seven portable seismographs at the Blue Mountain Lake encampment, Columbia University's Aggarwal excitedly telephoned Lynn Sykes back at the laboratory. All signs, said Aggarwal, pointed to an imminent earthquake of magnitude 2.5 to 3. As Aggarwal was sitting down to dinner two days later, the earth rumbled under his feet. "I could feel the waves passing by," he recalls, "and I was jubilant." In November 1973, after observing changes in P-wave velocity, Caltech...

Or that Dodger left fielder Bill Buckner...
What's more, if you can believe it, she's still a good girl. Lynn Redgrave as Xaviera a is properly blonde, well-built and fun-loving, but Mary Tyler Moore would have been more in keeping with the director's intentions; the film is as close to a family sit-com as he could get without completely disguising the subject matter. Xaviera first becomes interested in hooking through a man who tells her. "The most satisfying work, and the most difficult, is when you work to make other people happy." And her eyes light up. She loves to make...
