In the final game, when the tenacious Billie Jean fought back from match point five times, one excited fan yelled: "Get it over with!" Chris, who usually plays with a poker-faced poise that...
...Arthur Clarke's space odyssey 2001, the most intriguing character is not flesh and blood but an extraordinary computer called HAL (for Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer).

TV stores were hard-hit. "I can get $500 for this color set," exulted one looter. "It's got a $1,000 price...
