...Soviets have yet to produce the Agat in large quantities, and its quality is still suspect. Leo Bores, an eye surgeon and computer buff from Scottsdale, Ariz., tried out the Agat on a visit to the Soviet Union and wrote about his findings in last November's Byte magazine. Bores, who facetiously dubbed Agat the Yabloko (Russian for apple), discovered that the Soviet machine performs some tasks 30% slower than an Apple.

In San Diego, an 87-year-old man fired at a policeman investigating a fire next door. Both...

...American Graduate School of International Management in Glendale, Ariz., is known worldwide for its preparation of global business managers, and about 25% of almost 1,000 full-time master's candidates are from foreign countries. The school provides instruction in eight tongues, among them Mandarin Chinese and English as a second language; the courses emphasize business terms used in macroeconomics and cross-cultural management. The school also tailors short programs for the special needs of multinational companies like Mitsubishi Electric, which recently sent nine managers and engineers for a 14-week program on English language and American management...
