...ruling will undoubtedly breed some resentment. Weber himself last week predicted that the decision will have "a negative effect on people all over the country toward blacks." Perhaps. But the ruling will also bring hope. "I've done better than my parents ever dreamed," says James Nailor, a black electrician who was one of the first to be accepted into the Kaiser training program from which Weber was barred.

Mexican tomatoes alone account for almost 50% of all winter tomatoes sold in the U.S. The Florida growers claim their Mexican rivals produce too much and then are forced to dump in the U.S. before the vegetables perish.

Recording apparatus is beginning to be widely used, though hardware for full playback is not yet available outside the lab. Even heard on conventional equipment, the new hybrid records bring a full panorama of sound rushing from the speakers. In rock, digital is like scoring a studio seat next to the microphone. In classical, the sound is like a symphonic apotheosis. Floors vibrate; paint could crack; leases may be broken...
