...photographs from a U.S. satellite showed two parallel lines, running through the northern outskirts of Tokyo, that may represent faults in the earth's crust. Then Japanese seismologists were shaken up by a U.S. colleague. Columbia University's Christopher H. Scholz (TIME, Aug. 27) suggested that the Tokyo region could expect a major earthquake within the next few years. Seismologist Tsuneji Rikitake was not convinced by Scholz's reasoning-"The art of earthquake prediction is about as accurate as Chinese astrology," he snapped-but he had to concede that the danger was there. "The energy accumulation right...
...fake bonuses to employees in the know, always being careful to deduct the proper withholding taxes, and then scooped them back for secret donations to politicians. The contractors in question worked on, among other things, state roads and two huge bridge-building projects in the Baltimore-Annapolis area: the parallel span of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which opened last June and provides a second, four-mile-long bridge for traffic across the bay, and an interstate-highway bridge over Baltimore harbor. The two projects were financed by a $220 million bond issue approved by the state legislature...
Huge hand-painted signs on plants lining the highway that winds out of Santiago parallel to the Andes foothills proclaim the new order: workers, not management, will run Chile's industry. The takeovers were initiated by Allende during last June's abortive coup (TIME, July 7).

...charge, Harris says, the troubled person must "learn the language of transactional analysis and use it in examining his everyday transactions." He must also learn to diagram these transactions, using three circles to represent the personality components of each person and drawing arrows to show how two people interact. Parallel lines depict "complementary transactions," which occur, for instance, when a husband's Adult speaks to his wife's Adult and gets a response in kind. In that type of exchange, the husband might ask, "Where are my cuff links?" and his wife might reply, "In your top left...
...should like to introduce the case of my mother country, Korea, as an example. Twenty years after the armistice, that unhappy Land of Morning Calm remains divided. U.S. armed forces are still stationed south of the 38th parallel to protect an absolute police-state regime. As long as this situation prevails Korean society will be demoralized and the suffering, restless people will be pushed deeper into repression and despair. But their endurance is not unlimited. In order to stay in power, the unpopular Park Chung Hee regime is desperately trying to tie the U.S. down in Korea...
