Hurley, 55, adding that "Harvard and M.I.T. have been hotbeds of geological conservatism for years." Hurley and his colleagues became interested in the theory at a 1964 scientific meeting in London. There, Cambridge Geophysicist Sir Edward Bullard disclosed that a computer study of shorelines on both sides of the Atlantic -at a depth of 500 fathoms, to allow for coastal idiosyncrasies-showed that they would still match if they were set side by side.

Last week, Moynihan received an unsigned note, written in what seems to be a woman's hand and postmarked Newark. This one was not nasty, either, but it is hard to forget...
