Recent underground tests in Nevada confirmed that earthquake confusion is possible unless seismographs are within a few hundred miles of the site.

In ratings, they have slaughtered everything from ABC's American Bandstand to CBS's Playhouse go. Their titles alone have been irresistible -"The Cold Woman," "The Glamour Trap," "The Trapped Housewife," "Change of Life." The program hires first-rate talent, too. such as Sylvia Sidney (menopause), Kim Hunter (frigidity) and Phyllis Thaxter (the trapped housewife-in real life, Thaxter...
