...likely to rupture. Over the next 30 years, scientists estimate, the Bay Area has a greater than 60% chance of being hit by a damaging earthquake, defined as an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or higher. And while a replay of the 1906 earthquake is less likely during that time frame--the 1906 quake is thought to have had a magnitude of about 7.9, making it 60 times as powerful as a magnitude 6.7--it's not inconceivable. In now eerie echoes from early 2001, some experts recall hearing officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency list a strong earthquake...
...appearances trying to explain "pah-point" (Power Point) presentations to the Luddite professor. More striking is Smith's ability to make her motley cast so much more than the caricatures they could become. Belsey's formidable African-American wife Kiki looms large. Her much-discussed 115-kg frame, once much smaller, practically becomes a character in and of itself. She is generally a warm, charming woman, but when angered, she reverts to her roots and, in her children's words, "comes over all Florida" (a Belseyism for going postal). In another work she might be reduced to a Big Momma...
...passionate, a cry of conscience on an album full of oblique social speculation and spiritual voyaging. The Joshua Tree is not, it would seem at first, a record for these times. Bono and the rest of the Irish band called U2 seem to be citizens of some alternative time frame spliced from the idealism of the '60s and the musical free-for-all of the late '70s. Their songs have the phantom soul of the Band, the Celtic wonderment of their compatriot Van Morrison and some of the assertiveness of punk, refined into lyrical morality plays...
...adult. But the disorder returned with a vengeance three years ago when her estranged father resurfaced after a 20-year absence, then died. Smith coped by resuming her old self-destructive ways. By the summer of 2003, she carried less than 100 lbs. on her 5-ft. 3-in. frame. Only after she was hospitalized for bulimia did she agree to enter Renfrew's eight-week outpatient treatment program...
...Olsen, Sienna Miller and Jessica Simpson, who have been photographed in flowing '70s-era dresses, floppy hats and bangly jewelry. Olsen in particular seems to be channeling a style made popular 35 years ago (picture the young Joan Didion in the Haight), draping yards of fabric around her tiny frame...
