...matter, I thought. I can handle Harvard, voice or no voice. It's a user-friendly campus, after all. I'd write notes to friends on a pad of paper. I'd use gestures and nonverbal communication. I'd polite. I'd smile. People would accommodate...
...Grossi Nos. 3 and 4 displays his gifts in full flower. The Third (1985) harks back to Bach in a tour de force of stylistic synthesis, while the 1988 Fourth (which, confusingly, the composer also calls his Symphony No. 5) takes an unfinished work by Mahler as its launching pad.

What might cause such a ripple to spread across a fault remains a mystery. Numerous ideas have been suggested. Brune believes sliding rock physically deforms like tires squealing on pavement. In this case, what greases the skid is an invisible air pad that prevents the two surfaces from establishing frictional contact. Just last week, in a paper published by the science journal Nature, a team of researchers from the U.S. Geological Survey in Menlo Park offered an alternative possibility. Groundwater, they theorized, trapped under high pressure, might also serve to pry faults apart, allowing them to slip with a minimum...
...whether Perot had these clients lined up when he sold them the equipment in the first place. Charles Bridges, a former executive with Southwestern, says that Perot may have sold and then canceled "minor pieces of equipment" but that he "did not take unnecessary orders in order to pad his account." Bridges adds, "The problem I had with Perot is that if the game doesn't go the way Ross wants it to go, he keeps trying to change the rules so that he wins...
