...Finally there are two masterpieces, songs as good as "Be My Baby" or "River Deep Mountain High." The first is a Veronica number called "Why Don't They Let Us Fall In Love." Phil opens with a seismic riff - a sax line of tectonic dimension, especially on crankin? speakers - but the song's just starting, and the second time through he adds the backup vocals: "Bop bop bop, bop bop ba-dah-dah dah-dah..." I'm sitting on that couch in the dark, my next-door neighbor is pounding on the wall...

But instead of the sounds of torpedoes being blown from launch tubes, sonar operators aboard U.S. submarines working with the Loyal heard two explosions, one short and sharp, the second an enormous, thundering boom. A Norwegian seismic institute also recorded the explosions and said the second carried the force of two tons of TNT, registering 3.5 on the Richter scale...
...know if the cracks are longtime formations that have gone unnoticed or a more recent phenomenon. They do know, however, that they form part of a wide scar caused by a landslide that occurred 16,000 to 18,000 years ago. Such a slide could be triggered by undersea seismic activity or the decomposition of gas hydrate deposits, a very rare occurrence on the East Coast continental shelf but one that would have devastating consequences. We'll know more about the situation this summer when the researchers go back to try and determine whether the cracks...
...tiff appears to mark the beginning of another seismic shift in the cable industry. In the nascent days of cable, when providers were bringing channels to new pools of rural viewers, networks were thrilled to be part of a cable empire, and paid the providers accordingly. Then power shifted; cable companies now pay networks for the privilege of carrying their programs. And it's anyone's guess where the favor will fall once interactive television becomes a reality - and cable access becomes an integral part of viewing network programs...
...GORE's challenge to GEORGE W. BUSH in the wake of the Super Tuesday primaries--twice-a-week debates, joint town meetings, forswearing party soft money--sounded high-minded, but it was really wishful thinking. Without some sort of seismic shift in the ground rules, Gore faces a daunting task: keeping the Democratic National Committee flush enough to compete with the expected barrage of G.O.P.
