Whether earthquakes ever will be predictable is increasingly a matter of
public concern. In an effort to bring their listeners a rational viewpoint
about it, Diane Moye and John Kotick of radio station KPFK recently

Allen, professor of geology and geophysics; Don Anderson, director of
the Seismological Laboratory and professor of geophysics; and Hiroo
Kanamori, professor of geophysics. "Predicting Earthquakes" is
adapted from that interview
