Earthquake shakes buildings, halts high-speed train in Japan
TOKYO — A strong earthquake shook a wide area of east-central Japan early today, rattling buildings and briefly halting a high-speed bullet train, but apparently causing no casualties or damage, officials said.
Japan's Meteorological Agency said the quake was recorded at 6:17 a.m. local time with a magnitude measuring 5.7 on the Richter scale.
The epicenter was 30 miles below the surface of the Pacific Ocean of Fukushima Prefecture, a largely rural area about 130 miles north of Tokyo, agency officials said.
The quake shook people awake along the Pacific coast and rattled homes as far away as metropolitan Tokyo, but there were no reports of injuries or damage, officials said.

Meteorological officials said the quake registered 4, or "strong," on the Japanese scale at Onahama, a small town directly on the coast 100 miles northeast of Tokyo, but 3, or "rather strong," in the Fukushima and only 2, or "weak," in Tokyo.
While the Richter measures magnitude, the Japanese scale measures the intensity felt at different places.
The morning quake followed a series of smaller tremors south of Tokyo last night.
Bangladesh dissidents arrested
DHAKA, Bangladesh — Officials put two main opposition leaders under house arrest yesterday, and rioting on the first day of a campaign against this week's presidential elections killed one person and injured 24, sources said.
Sheikh Hasina Wazed, head of the eight-part leftist Awami League Alliance, was stopped by about 20 police officers as she was leaving her home. She was on her way to a rally where President Hossain Mohammad Ershad was addressing a meeting.
Khaledia Zia, head of the centrist coalition led by the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, also was detained at her home. Zia's son Tarig said.
Ershad is expected to win tomorrow's elections, the third since the country became independent of Pakistan after a civil war in 1971.

BOSTON — Salvadoran President Jose Napoleon Duarte has postponed a 12-day trip to the United States, including a stop at Boston University to receive an honorary degree, a university official said yesterday.
each of the six Nobel prizes this year carries a cash stipend of $280,000 - 10 percent more than 1985. Levi-Montalcini and Cohen will split their award.
Duarte postpones trip to U.S.
Spokesman Joe Hunter said details of the postponement were sketchy, but Duarte probably was responding to a series of earthquakes that struck El Salvador on Friday, killing hundreds and injuring thousands.
Duarte returned to San Salvador — the country's capital city — last weekend from the countryside and declared a national state of emergency.
It is not known if the visit has been rescheduled. Hunter said.
Boston University President John Silber and officials from the Salvadoran Embassy in Washington were not available for comment.
Duarte was scheduled to arrive in Boston on Thursday and receive an honorary doctor of laws degree from Boston University on Friday.
He also was to participate with professors in a panel discussion of Central American issues.
Duarte was scheduled to visit Washington during his 12-day trip.
This is the second time Duarte has cancelled a visit to Boston. Last year the president postponed a visit to Boston University after his daughter was kidnapped.

NEW YORK — Beginning with its February issue, Playgirl magazine will no longer feature full frontal male nudity. Advertising Age reported yesterday
The magazine recently filed under federal bankruptcy laws and was purchased by Carl Ruderman, publisher of the men's magazines High Society and Cheri.
