TODAY IN HISTORY On this date: In 1917, British forces captured Jerusalem from the Ottoman Turks. In 1935, the Downtown Athletic Club of New York honored college football player Jay Berwanger of the University of Chi cago with the DAC Trophy, which later became known as the Heisman Trophy. In 1940, British troops opened their first major offensive in North Africa during World War II. In 1958, the anti-communist John Birch Society was formed in Indianapolis. In 1965, “A Charlie Brown Christmas,” the first animated TV special featuring characters from the “Peanuts” comic strip by Charles M. Schulz, premiered on CBS. In 1987, the first Palestinian uprising began as riots broke out in Gaza and spread to the West Bank, triggering a strong Is raeli response. In 1992, Britain’s Prince Charles and Princess Diana an nounced their separation. (The couple’s divorce became final in Aug. 1996.) In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered a temporary halt in the Florida vote count on which Al Gore pinned his best hopes of winning the White House. BIRTHDAYS Actor Kirk Douglas is 102.

Adjacent to Northern Lights Boulevard in Anchorage, Earthquake Park shows the physical impact of the quake that struck there on Good Friday, March 27, 1964. Cliffs as tall as 65 feet and buckling ground are a reminder of the violent movement that took place when North America’s most powerful quake destroyed parts of Anchorage, killing 100 people. A week ago on Friday, park visitors got an unexpected dem onstration as another major quake rocked the city at 8:30 a.m. local time. Buildings shook, glass panes crashed and roadways heaved up and down. A driver taking the airport off-ramp on Minnesota Drive found himself stranded when the highway col lapsed all around his vehicle. Senior citizens were reminded of the 1964 quake and its horrifying scenes. Back then, the harbor suddenly emptied itself of water, just like we saw in more recent footage from Thailand. It’s the prelude to a tsunami. The killer wave followed imme diately, overturning ocean-going freighters and washing away everything in its path. This year, there was no tsunami, and thank fully the death toll from the quake was zero. Alaska isn’t the only high-risk zone in western North America. Just 200 miles outside of Anchorage, the ocean floor drops sharply from a few hundred feet of depth to 15,000 feet. This enormous break in the earth’s crust, separating the Pacific Plate from the American Plate, runs south all the way to Cape Horn, the southern tip of South America. San Fran cisco, California, was ruined in 1906 by the associated San Andreas fault. Some time ago, I was standing on that fault line where it crosses Highway 198 between Coalinga and San Lucas. It looks like a harmless dry creek bed, dropping only a few feet, but the tilting trees and fence posts nearby tell of the ongoing move ment of the ground. Anchorage was spared loss of life Nov. 30. But future events may not be as lim ited. There are about 300,000 residents in that area. Population density is much greater in the earthquake zones of the lower 48 states. My main worry is about California’s San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose region. Accord ing to worldpopulationreview.com, the area is home to 8.7 million people. This makes the San Francisco Bay area the likely theater for a major geologic disaster.

SINGLE COPY The Times is available at retail stores, newspaper racks and at The Times for $1.00 Mon.-Sat. and $2.00 on Sun. ARIES (March 21 -April 19). Every effort to make beauti ful things happen is angelic. Each happy memory adds to the emotional sunshine that creates optimism, which leads to hope and finally to accom plishment. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s a little out of reach still, but you do know what you want, and you have for a while now. Next up, an increase in your ability to make the changes necessary to get this party started. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Making a bucket list isn’t just for seniors. You’ll broaden your horizons by giving stronger consideration to your joys, fascinations and fantasies. Fun goals will keep you motivated to do the less fun ones. CANCER (June 22-July 22). You usually check in with yourself periodically to see how you’re feeling about life and about your goals. With the pace picking up these days, you will benefit from more frequent and deliberate check-ins. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You will lift spirits. You’ll do it in practi cal ways, by sharing what you have — knowledge, food, conversation — but you’ll also inspire in less tangible ways, through your attitude, your manner and the way you tell your story. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). There’s a time for seeking magic and a time for going as deeply into the mundane as you possibly can. You may unexpectedly find the latter pursuit to be far more magical than the former. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Beware of those who act as though you owe them when you don’t; it is a ploy, a game or a style and can be quite effective to the unaccustomed. You are more awake than the average Joe and won’t fall for it. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Seeing as whatever you do to keep the stress hormones at bay can be counted as health enhancing and strength-forti fying, would it be too much of a stretch to just call it work? SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be paying for an interaction, and getting the most for your money will be on your mind. A little planning will help, as will a prepared presentation, if that’s not too over-the-top for circum stances. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) It will be important to you that the circumstances be fair to all involved. You’re willing to adjust, even in a downward di rection, if it means that every one will be getting the same thing. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Thinking in scientific ways will help you with almost any problem that comes up to day. What about the situation can be tested, counted and tracked? Therein lies your key. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get the chance to be around people whose energy really lights you up. This is about more than just com mon interests. When you’re together, the world turns into a playground for kindred souls.
