Crone.... a man who in a brief and fleeting moment at the end of a Yale football game, simultaneously snatched fame and infamy from the miasma of Harvard athletic history. End-zone Crone, a man fading, pumping, scrambling with an effortless inviolability, zeroing in like a computerized homing pigeon, tightening and tightening the frantic gyre until he could settle to his knees on that corner of the Endzone,clutching a football with a pregnant, held sigh, heaving that sigh, and mumbling, "Here...

...prediction technique was devised independently by the Lamont researchers (TIME, Feb. 12) and Stanford University Scientist Amos Nur. It is based upon a sudden cracking and expansion of rock along a fault zone in the earth when stresses reach a critical point. This cracking creates many tiny cavities in the water-saturated rock. That slows the passage of P (pressure) waves, which travel faster through liquid-filled cracks. Another kind of seismic wave, the S (shear) wave, however, is less affected by the newly opened cracks; thus the usual ratio of P-to S-wave velocity drops sharply. Then...
