Each ScanFone unit, which can also function as a regular telephone, features a magnetic-stripe credit card reader and a light pen to scan bar codes. After selecting groceries, customers punch in a delivery time, run a credit card through the magnetic reader and await delivery. On the retailer's end, a computer registers the order and professional shoppers hit the aisles, instructed to select the best cuts of meat and the freshest vegetables and fruits for ScanFoners. If successful, the system is expected to serve 16 cities by June...

There they await trial on charges of high treason. If found guilty -- and several insist they were innocent dupes -- they could be imprisoned for 10 to 15 years, or put to death.

Originally designed to see if aspirin can prevent heart disease in women as it does in men, the study will also look...

True, the final installments must still await the freeing of two German captives. But Anderson's release last week seemed to unburden other American ex-hostages of their "survivor's guilt" and uncork fresh memories of physical pain and mental anguish. If a single thread ran through the recollections, it was the abject despair each man experienced when confined in solitary, and the mutual appreciation, gratitude and respect each felt for his fellow...
