George Romney's office is too close to permit his customary four-mile morning jog, but the new Secretary of HUD will probably lope off to work through Rock Creek Park as his chauffeur delivers lunch-a meat sandwich, a salad, a thermos of milk-to his desk...
...Years on the Rock. "Just yesterday, I was No. 31048," Sobell told a TIME reporter in flat, lifeless tones that reflected the shock of freedom. For almost six years, he was immured on Alcatraz, the desolate "Rock" in San Francisco Bay, where the U.S. penned its most dangerous and intractable federal prisoners until it was closed down in 1963. Transferred to Atlanta Penitentiary, Sobell could at least employ his engineering skills, helping to redesign the prison's wiring system. After undergoing abdominal surgery in 1963, he was transferred to prison at Lewisburg, Pa., and allowed to study dental technology...

Within the next 18 months, he predicts, earthquakes of at least moderate intensity will rock areas near Santa Cruz and south of Bakersfield...
...taken place since the last measurement. Slowdowns & Reversals. At many observation points, along the San Andreas fault, the scientists found that California's coastal strip was moving to the northwest at a rate of two inches per year.

"When the fault sticks," Hofmann says, "the movement is transferred to smaller, adjacent faults that can stand only a limited amount of movement. When these smaller faults reach their limit, the forces increase until the main fault breaks loose again. This...
Full Circle. By comparison with its older outposts, some of Mediterranee's more recent villages are almost luxurious, featuring such amenities as air conditioning, wall-to-wall carpeting and private baths. And prices are not always the rock-bottom bargains they once were. U.S. members can spend a week at Bear Valley for $182, including bus transportation from San Francisco, meals, four hours of ski instruction daily and chairlift tickets...
