...SCIENTISTS FORECAST MAJOR EARTH-quakes months before they happen? Most experts are dubious, but that hasn't stopped Vladimir Keilis-Borok from trying. And for a while the mathematical geophysicist, 83, seemed to be on a roll. In September 2003, within a time frame Keilis-Borok and colleagues had stipulated in advance, a pair of powerful earthquakes struck northern Japan, setting off tsunamis and injuring several hundred people. In December, another anticipated temblor rattled central California, killing two and damaging dozens of buildings.

...impressive show of unwavering dedication, each demographic in the crowd could sing along to almost every lyric. It was truly inspiring to watch Wilco so gracefully unify generations of rock-and-roll listeners. The new fans’ heads nodded with approval at every pulse from Pat Sansone’s keyboard in the largely electronic-based “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.” Later, early loyalists’ eyes lit up when Nels Cline dusted off his classic lap steel for a couple of standards in the first of two encores...
