...three quarterbacks Gary Shue, Marc Mandel, and Tom Pinto--who can throw the ball adequately. But none of them has shown the ability to consistently move the team. Pinto had such a poor academic record in high school that he was told not even to apply to Harvard a slight that he has announced he intends to avenge.

Scientists have known that the buildup of stresses in the earth before dangerous quakes is often accompanied by slight changes in the magnetism of local rock. But there have been few measurements of that geopiezomagnetic effect before or during actual quakes. With more data like those gathered during Cannikin, Hasbrouck and Allen hope, scientists should be able to determine accurately the relationship between accumulated stress and the magnetic changes in an earthquake zone. Then, by monitoring the magnetic field, they may well be able to forecast serious upheavals...
