...bitchy comment. All too often, he relies on shallow dazzle and backup effects. His subject is a compelling case history, an exploited talent with a wasted, truncated life. But that is not enough for Goldman. The biographer insists that each kink in his subject's psyche represents a tremor in the nation's collective unconscious. When Goldman finishes his juicy recounting of Elvis Presley's life, however, the mystery of the King's fascination remains. For that, fans and readers should rejoice. As Elvis always insisted, "You don't come back for an encore...
...future. Reconstructing last year's disaster with readings from seismographs and tiltmeters - which measure the swelling of the earth's surface - scientists have determined that the eruption was triggered by a magnitude5 earthquake that shook the mountain on May 18, the day of the volcano. The tremor dislodged a flank of the mountain already swollen from rising semimolten rock. A huge hunk of the mountain rumbled downhill like a great sliding door, uncovering rock saturated with compressed gases. Exposed to the air, the gases exploded. Geologists are encouraged by the fact that the lava dome that has been...
...restless plates, each about 70 miles thick. Their movements explain volcanoes, the rise of mountains and the drift of continents. They account for quakes as well, most of which seem to occur where the great plates meet-at the so-called Ring of Fire, for instance, the tremor-and volcano-prone region that rims the Pacific Ocean and outlines the Pacific plate...
...Loeb production it is difficult to see the actors' features or, often, to hear them over the fall of water--much less to catch an involuntary vocal tremor. So the problem that undergraduates have traditionally had at the Loeb--the sheer inability to occupy the space while maintaining a modicum of subtlety or humanity--is exacerbated. But the approach seems conscious, particularly when Cornuelle places an actor behind a pole during a key confrontation, or has Marina, the old nurse, speak throughout in Russian. These kind of alienation effects often shed surprising light on classic plays, but I question their...
Last week, on Friday, the traditional Arab day of rest, the people of El Asnam again felt the earth move violently, not once but 20 times. The initial tremor registered 7.5 on the Richter Scale, which was slightly lower than the 7.7 recorded in September 1978, when 25,000 people were killed in northeast Iran. In El Asnam, the city was again laid waste, along with many of the farmhouses and villages in a 25-mile radius. Eyewitnesses estimated that 80% of El Asnam was destroyed; the Algerian Red Crescent initially reported that perhaps as many...
