...invest all their hopes in one particular woman and, lately, no special man, but this time there are two eminent females, 1983 World Champion Rosalynn Sumners and 1982 World Champion Elaine Zayak, as well as the world's best male skater for the past three years, Scott Hamilton. A compact strongman, Hamilton should be the royal presence in these games and is thought to have a Heiden's lock on the first U.S. men's singles gold medal since David Jenkins...
...inside of the machine and teased them with promises of fame when the computer came out. Last year when the Mac group moved into a larger home, Jobs spent $ 1 million on decor. The building now has an atrium and fake skylights. He also installed a Toshiba Compact Digital Disc player and 6-ft. tall Martin-Logan speakers that play classical and rock music 24 hours...
...Sony is steering is to develop still more high-technology products. Despite falling profits, the firm spent 8% of last year's sales on research and development, compared with the industry average of 5% to 6%. Some of the laboratory projects have already hit Main Street. One, the compact-digital-disc player, has been hailed as the likely replacement for today's stereo systems. The players use beams of light, rather than needles, to play 4.7-in. silvery discs. Sony last year sold 150,000, or half, of all the CDs purchased in Japan, for prices starting...
Kodak, though, has more problems than just a shrinking market. The company's much ballyhooed compact Disc camera, introduced in February 1982, has yet to turn a profit.

Kodak had expected to sell some 10 million Disc cameras last year and installed enough equipment to produce 12 million. The device, which uses a disc rather than a roll of film, is unlikely to earn back its estimated $450 million in development costs before late...
...Bones explores the gap between thought and feeling. Think Too Much is a classic statement of the quandary ("Have you ever experienced a period of grace/ When your brain just takes a seat behind your face") that keeps the record buoyant even at its bleakest. A piece of compact virtuosity, Hearts and Bones ends with a tribute to John Lennon that is a little like a streamlined time transport. "It was the year of the Beatles/ It was the year of the Stones/ It was 1964..." Nearly 20 years on, and it seems like a good year all over again...
