...firms less than one-tenth their size are attracting large ad accounts to such off-the-avenue cities as Boston and Minneapolis. In mid- August the Richards Group of Dallas ($97 million) snared the $15 million account for the Long John Silver's restaurant chain from Chicago's Foote, Cone & Belding ($2.3 billion). In July Nissan awarded a $50 million account for the Infiniti, a new luxury auto to be introduced next year, to Boston's Hill Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos ($290 million...
...likes of the glorious Shun Fujimoto and the notorious Boris Onischenko can march into the sunlight together. The Soviet army's Major Onischenko came forever to be known as Disonischenko after the fencing segment of the modern pentathlon, when a battery was discovered in his nose cone.

Kumin sculptures chocolate roses with the same passionate care that he bestows on his real garden in nearby Brewster. First he rolls a cone of solid chocolate.

As the students move to their own tables to practice, Kumin takes a short break for a cigarette in his tiny office. "Teaching is wonderful," he says, "but soon I need...
...down on that computational burden, future simulators will use a trick borrowed from the eye itself. Rather than create the entire 360 degrees horizon, they will concentrate their imaging resources on the narrow cone where the pilot is looking at a given moment. Link's new ESPRIT (eye-slaved projected raster inset) system uses an infrared scanner mounted in the pilot's helmet to track his eye movements. Then it projects a detailed, high- resolution picture in the pilot's direct line of sight and a fuzzier, less detailed peripheral image...
...grownups who run the realm want to believe too. On a Sunday outing that she and Koepp took to Disneyland with Michael Eisner, the company's chief executive, Eisner detected a minute flaw in the facade of It's a Small World, checked out a new menu item (Handwiches, cone-shaped rolls with a choice of fillings) at one of the cafes, and inquired about apple popularity at the Treetop concession. "With his nonstop enthusiasm and nose for the commercial, Eisner is the perfect successor to Walt," says Dutka. Koepp notes with admiration that Eisner insisted on waiting in line...
