Chinese scientists read every scientific paper published by foreign earthquake researchers. They also pay close attention to exotic prequake signals-including oddities of animal behavior-so far largely overlooked by other nations. Before a quake in the summer of 1969, the Chinese observed that in the Tientsin zoo, the swans abruptly left the water, a Manchurian tiger stopped pacing in his cage, a Tibetan yak collapsed, and a panda held its head in its paws and moaned.

With a personality far more cosmopolitan than Mao's, Chou...
