Computer Study Lowers Odds of Big Southern California Quake
Caltech geophysicist Dr. Stewart W. Smith says new IBM aided computer calculations show reduced strain along the San Andreas Fault. The model links three major quakes since 1925 to dissipating crustal stress near Fort Tejon, suggesting lower near term risk for a great quake in southern California.

Urban Health Crisis Frames as Municipal Design Flaws
At a conference in San Francisco doctors from multiple backgrounds discuss urban policy failures. UC San Francisco’s Dr. Philip R. Lee notes structures suited to small towns, not megacities, with transport and water policies lagging for urban needs. He cites health as a lifeline for the poor and highlights a shortage of Black physicians. Dr. John Holloman adds that the race would require training 25,000 more Black doctors to reach the national patient physician ratio.
