...assembly lines than as manufacturers. Many of these firms, ; such as Zeos, Graystar and PC Brand, don't invest in costly research or development, nor do they own expensive manufacturing plants. Instead they operate out of factories and garages. Rather than make PCs from scratch, they buy everything from circuit boards, displays and disk drives to entire computers from foreign firms that largely copy American PC designs. Says Brad Smith, vice president of PC research at Dataquest: "All you need to start a PC company today is a fax machine to take orders and a Black & Decker screwdriver to assemble...

Wiseman Jr. criticized government lawyers for being insufficiently inquisitive about the facts of the case but said their failings fell short of misconduct.

If they gave her up, he told them, they would be heroes, sacrificing their heart's desire for the sake of their child's well...
...June, Kimberly found a court that agreed. If a minor in Florida can choose abortion, ruled circuit court judge Stephen Dakan, "then surely a minor child has the right to assert a constitutional privilege to resist an attempt to remove her from the only home she has known . . . and declare her the child of strangers." In August, he will decide on visitation rights for the Twiggs. If all goes as planned, the legal maneuvering will be over by the time Kimberly starts the ninth grade.
