...chances are small, but not zero," says Seismologist Lynn Sykes of Columbia's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory. He and other scientists think that a less dangerous method of earthquake control might be to pump liquid into a fault region. Such fluids would relieve stresses by acting, in part, as underground lubricants. Yet this method also poses dangers. In the Denver area, for example, recent shocks were apparently triggered by the disposal of chemical wastes in deep underground wells...
Breakthrough. Brancusi's early work, never before seen in the U.S., is the most surprising part of the current exhibition. In Paris he studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts and exhibited such accomplished work at the Musée Luxembourg that Rodin invited him to work in his studio. Brancusi refused. "Nothing grows well in the shadow of a big tree," he said, and spent the next two years working in virtual isolation. His last work in a traditional mode is the tender portrait head, Torment. Then, in 1907, he made the great break with the past that...
...that idol is tarnished by inflation and pollution. "We get richer and richer in filthier and filthier communities," John Gardner, chairman of the Urban Coalition, said last week in Washington, "until we reach a final state of affluent misery -Croesus on a garbage heap." Slower economic growth, which is part of the Administration's recipe for battling inflation, might also help to improve the deplorable condition of cities by checking urban sprawl and pollution from autos and factories. But slowed growth exacts a toll from the poor. Another antidote is rising productivity-in Government, in the executive suite...

When he was recalled to his other job as an armored-brigade commander two weeks before the 1967 war, he organized a team of photographers and journalists and readied them to cover the battlefronts. Six weeks after he led Israeli tanks into the Arab part of Jerusalem, he brought out Victory, the first book on the war. It sold 150,000 copies in Israel alone, and has since been translated into English, French, German and Spanish. Ben-Ari has gone on to publish a score of titles in the U.S., where his Sabra Books are distributed...
...promotional gimmick sponsored visits by American baseball teams featuring such stars as Lou Gehrig and Babe Ruth. The tours were overwhelming successes, and the game soon became as popular in Japan as in the U.S. Today, Yomiuri's circulation is 5.1 million, in no small part because of the thoroughness of its baseball coverage...
