Since the December summit between Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev, Moscow has been dropping ever more arresting hints of its readiness to bring home the 115,000 Soviet troops in Afghanistan. Last week the man at the top flashed the clearest signal yet, and it sent peace hopes soaring. In a move clearly timed to capture a wide audience, a Soviet broadcaster interrupted a prime-time television showing of the 1958 film based on Mikhail Sholokhov's classic, And Quiet Flows the Don, to read an announcement from Gorbachev. There are "considerable chances," said the General Secretary's statement, that...
With 58% of the world market, Cray Research is indisputably the supercompany in the design and manufacture of supercomputers -- those ultrafast number crunchers that can do everything from designing jumbo jets to forecasting the < weather. But the company fell behind schedule last year in its drive to bring out a new generation of machines that would have eight central processors instead of four. In the meantime, Cray's main American supercomputer rival, ETA, this year unveiled machines with up to eight processors...

Already the emerging power of America's grandparents frightens many of their children and grandchildren. Some experts forecast a costly confrontation, in which embittered young people and embattled older ones fight with the most sophisticated political weapons over ever scarcer resources.

The assumption that one generation can serve as a resource rather than a rival to another, most advocates on both sides would agree, holds far more promise than any call to arms...
That is especially true in the risky, cutthroat pharmaceutical business, where the typical product costs about $125 million to bring from the laboratory to the pharmacy shelf. Although drug patents can last up to 22 years, firms must test a product for several years after a patent filing to win approval from the Food and Drug Administration. That gives competitors, who have access to the filing, time to tinker with a patented compound and make it different enough to qualify as a new drug. Growing, too, are the ranks of generic-drug producers who do little or no research...
