...fiscal 1982. In Missouri, officials have cut back on the number of prescriptions a person can obtain, set standard reimbursement rates for various medical operations, and refused to pay for weekend hospital admissions except in emergencies. Faced with a $51 million shortfall, Illinois is requiring welfare recipients to chip in a dollar for every doctor visit or pharmacy order.

Texas Instruments, a pioneer in "talking" computer chips, is the leading producer of these less expensive aids. (Others: Mattel, Coleco, Milton Bradley.) In 1978 TI introduced Speak & Spell, a talking learning aid, which imitated the human voice-questioning, coaching and correcting the user -with an integrated circuit on a single silicon chip. On a later machine, called Speak & Read ($75), a child can complete...
