Soon after the first tremor, seismologists began trying to map out the newly revealed fault and determine how it is connected to other fissures in the region. To do this, the scientists will have to track the locations of hundreds of aftershocks, a lengthy and tedious process. At first it was thought that the quake might have resulted from a previously unmapped extension of the Oak Ridge Fault, which angles past the city of Ventura and into the Pacific Ocean. But as researchers fanned out through the San Fernando Valley, other theories emerged, including the possibility that the fault...

The department's top weapons analyst says plans to deploy 100 ground-based interceptors by 1997 -- rather than 2002, as he recommends -- to fend off small-scale nuclear attacks cannot proceed without major cost overruns and performance problems...
