    First link, to the WaPo story, is wrong — it’s to Doran’s obit.

    Thanks for the heads-up, Mike. Link now fixed.

    I guess this is the way it is now, but when I clicked on link to read the WSJ article on Berkeley earthquakes, I was teased with a couple paragraphs and then forced to subscribe if I wanted to finish the article.  I think that sucks, but admit I may be in the minority.

    Sue: We understand your frustration. We did in fact wait until the WSJ article was published in full before linking to it, but it seems they have put it behind a pay-wall again. While we of all people understand the need to underwrite journalism, we did not intend for you to click on a link only to be unable to read the story in question. Try this link to see if you get the full piece: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204632204577127344273682890.html
