Since last June, three states have successfully overturned laws similar to the one the Massachusetts Legislature passed last week. Citing Title 19 of the Federal Code, which says that you cannot halt funding for medically necessary services for poor women, West Virginia, Illinois and last month New Jersey have restored Medicaid funding for poor women based on the unconstitutionality of their state actions. Weinburg says she is confident that MORAL will be able to win its case, which they took to court yesterday afternoon. Her biggest concern yesterday, however, was that they would be able to obtain a temporary restraining...
...work, Chevron Boss Giovanni Theodoli, the president of the Italian association of petroleum companies, also practices unpredictability. When the time comes for the association's bimonthly meeting, only Theodoli knows in advance where the gathering will be, and members call him an hour beforehand to get a code number for the site...
According to the position paper, Yale will be prepared to divest its holdings in companies that do not subscribe to a specified code of conduct established by Rev. Leon H. Sullivan, a former Yale chaplain, and accepted by over 100 businesses...
...crucial not only to national security but to commercial and industrial operations as well. Yet as society becomes increasingly reliant on electronically relayed communications-and more sophisticated new gadgetry is developed to intercept them-it is becoming harder than ever to keep a transmitted secret. But now the code breakers may finally have met their match. As a result of recent work by Stanford University scientists, ciphers that are for all practical purposes unbreakable can be produced easily. Says Scientific American Mathematics Columnist Martin Gardner: "The breakthrough bids fair to revolutionize the entire field of secret communication...
...figure several hundred digits long. The private, or decoding, key, on the other hand, is derived from the original prime numbers. To use a simple example: if the encoding key were 323, the decoding key would have to be 17, 19 (since 17 X 19 = 323). If a code breaker wanted to decipher the secret message, he would first have to factor the product-in other words, extract the original two prime numbers that are the source of the decoding key. But even in the computer age, factoring, which can involve trying out seemingly endless combinations of numbers...
