...undisclosed American Carter, Debrett's has tracked Jimmy's forebears back to 1361 and King's Langley, a quaint Hertfordshire village that is now a commuter suburb, 18 miles north of London. The prospering yeoman family at one time owned Jefferies farm in nearby Chipperfield (the Chip Carter connection?), and the King's Langley church has a brass plaque in memory of Ancestor John Carter, departed this world in 1588. Another Carter, also named John, made it to London and, in Dick Whittington fashion, became a prosperous wine merchant. As befitted a new gentleman, he applied...
...raise in the minimum wage, from $2.30 an hour to $2.65 an hour, and on a farm price-support bill that may cost $4 billion this year instead of his original limit of $2.3 billion.

Hammer, who often visits Russian cybernetic installations, believes the U.S.S.R. is nearly equal to the U.S. in the design and construction of computers. But it lags so badly in performance because of the Soviet failure so far to master "chip" technology-the ability to place large numbers of miniature circuits on tiny (usually ½ sq. in.) silicon chips or plates. While U.S. engineers can cram 10,000 to 50,000 components on one of these chips, the Russians have been able to place no more than...
...turning point of the match came on the par five 500-yard 17th, known as Lang Whang, which is the Scottish vernacular for "long hit."
