abstract Slip vectors, derived from striations on variably oriented faults along the west and south sides of a bedrock spur north of Salt Lake City, Utah, indicate a consistent relative motion between the spur and the Salt Lake Valley during Quaternary time. The possibility of motion of coherent crustal blocks during basin and range type faulting suggests: (1) segmentation of major fault zones, such as the Wasatch fault zone, into independent crustal blocks, complicates the evaluation of earthquake hazards because of the unknown relationships between individual faults; and (2) if this pattern of crustal deformation is characteristic of the Basin and Range Province, then fault-plane solutions for this area should be carefully evaluated because they may reflect local displacements rather than the effects of the regional stress field.

Abstract Since its fiftieth anniversary, memorialization of the Korean War has taken place in towns and cities across the United States. As a case study of this belated memory boom, this essay looks at the Utah Korean War Memorial, erected by local veterans in 2003 at Memory Grove Park, Salt Lake City. Situated in both the local and national contexts of remembrance, the memorial resonates largely with three mythical scripts, with themes of resilience, local pride, and the good war, all of which have allowed veterans to negotiate tensions between individual and collective memories. This case study reveals in particular how the official commemoration of the war has shifted local veterans' rhetorical positions from potential witnesses of subversive realities of the war to uncritical negotiators whose legitimization of the very process of mythologizing memories has ultimately alienated them from their own experiences during and after the war.

THOUSANDS of adolescents and teen-aged youngsters in many cities throughout the United States and other countries are deliberately inhaling vapors of a wide variety of volatile organic solvents in order to induce repeated states of inebriation. Although the practice itself is not new, its occurrence in epidemic proportions in many areas and the passage of legislation prohibiting the act in many cities and states in the United States have brought the problem into nationwide prominence. Some of the solvents used (such as carbon tetrachloride, trichlorethane, benzene, and acetone) have been implicated in previous industrial exposures as the cause of serious toxic effects, including fatalities. The possibility of similar ill effects from these and other solvents when used in much higher concentrations at shorter, but frequently repeated intervals as currently practiced, is one that has been raised repeatedly. Consequently, the Panel on Household and Economic Chemicals of the American Medical Association's Section on Adverse Reactions (Council on Drugs) invited this appraisal of the problem. Included is an assessment of the potential problem from the standpoints of incidence, acute effects, behavioral difficulties, possible chronic or cumulative toxic effects, and possible remedial measures. SOURCES OF INFORMATION This report summarizes the authors' investigations of the problem over the period of the last several years. In addition, it includes a review of published reports, the results of extensive discussions and correspondence with medical and law enforcement personnel in many areas of the United States, Sweden, and elsewhere. Also direct medical and hospital studies of a sample of habitual sniffers by one of us (A.K.D.) in Salt Lake City, Utah, and a detailed comparison of four other similar studies and a personal experiment on simultaneous electroencephalographic tracings and blood level measurements during inhalation by the other (E.P.).
