...Earthquake were mesmerizing audiences of disaster buffs over the past year, Senior Editor Leon Jaroff and Associate Editor Frederic Golden, who writes our Science section, were carefully following a series of little-noticed events and discoveries that are leading scientists closer to achieving a critical breakthrough: the ability to predict, and possibly even control, earthquakes. Golden, who wrote this week's cover package and Jaroff, who edited it, have both been keeping tab on seismological research for several years. "We'd covered each advance piecemeal," Jaroff says.

The White House, however, has called for decontrol of all new gas, allowing the price to rise to whatever the market will bear. Senate Commerce Committee experts predict that that approach would raise the fuel bill of the average U.S. family by $2,888 over the next six years; their own plan, they say, would hold the pocketbook impact...
