Beijing -- Communist Party officials in China are launching a purge of corruption in the government and the military that could prove to be bloody. Wei Jianxing, head of the party disciplinary committee, recently told a closed-door meeting of the party's central committee that corruption has reached epidemic proportions.

Dziewonski and graduate student Wei-jia Su are challenging a claim made last January by two California researchers that such hotspots extend to depths of only 100 kilometers. Evidence for the Harvard geologists' theory, published in today's issue of the British science journal Nature, is drawn from a new three-dimensional model of the entire mantle...
