...that his reviews are largely researched and written by a staff of six. Not that it matters much to publicists for the Hollywood studios, who have made Craig as ubiquitous a brand name in the movie world as Dolby Stereo. He is probably the most prominent of a new crop of movie blurbmeisters: critics and critic-wannabes who seem to exist mainly to service the studios with glowing quotes to hype their latest releases...
...Intel's success. If so, that envy may grow more pronounced as Intel prepares to put more distance between itself and its competitors. This year Intel will begin shipping its next generation of microprocessors called the Pentium, which will process information twice as fast as Intel's current crop of chips. Moreover, Grove says, Intel will price the Pentium "more aggressively" than previous microprocessors. Although computers based on Pentium will start at $5,000, prices are expected to fall by as much as 60% within the next three years...

The result, published in Science: despite the hoopla, nothing has changed. Paradoxically, American parents say they are satisfied with their youngsters' education and think they do enough homework while Asian parents feel just the opposite.

Many anglers cast into rivers and lakes devoid of native fish. Stocked European brown trout and transplanted rainbows ply our streams, with native brook and cutthroat trout in retreat. Bighorn sheep and other game herds are shunted about for the hunter's delight...
