...timing of the tremor can also be indicative; scientists have a habit of scheduling tests with clockwork precision. "The way to tell a bomb from an earthquake," says Lincoln Lab's Paul E. Green only half facetiously, "is if it goes on the even minute of an even hour. And if it's Sunday, you know it's either a Soviet or a Chinese bomb...
...been predicted for nearly three months, and for the past two weeks U.S. seismologists had kept their ears to the ground in hopes of catching the faint tremor. High-flying U-2 reconnaissance jets, mounted with fallout-collecting air scoops, stood ready along the shores of Asia to fly at a moment's notice. Then, sure enough, another mushroom cloud rose slowly into the skies over Lop Nor in China's harsh Takla Makan Desert...
While working on the Homage, Soyer was constantly worried that he might fail. He jotted in his progress notes: "Will I be able to capture the tremor in the temples of Jack Levine's portrait, the anxious face of Moses [Soyer's twin brother], or the aura of aloneness about Edward Hopper?"

Peyton Place glows in the night not once but twice a week. The camera impatiently scurries from house to house in the small New England town, functioning as a kind of sexual seismograph, recording the slightest tremor. Most of them are very slight, indeed. For example, last week's biggest one involved a man who had made his secretary his mistress but disapproved of his son's going out with the secretary's daughter. Yet, since all the other new comic and dramatic series are developed through broad caricature, the odd thing about this marathonical bore...
