Buddy movies depend on how the well two actors work together. Hoffman and Beatty are completely believable, mostly because they look like they're having a great time. Rodgers and Clark are two losers, but they're redeemed by their affection for one another. "It takes a lot of nerve to have nothing at your age," Rodgers tells Clark with utter sincerity. Beatty sometimes seems miscast as a shy nerd who is a loser with women and is prone to collapsing in tears, but he saves his character with a goofy charm...
...applications, though, depend on bringing the technology out of the lab, and despite the bubbly confidence of many scientists, obstacles remain. One is the need to form the new materials into usable shapes. While metals bend, anyone who has dropped a dinner plate knows that ceramics do not. And a flexible material has a big advantage over a brittle one if it is to be coiled around an electromagnet. Says Osamu Horigami, chief researcher at Toshiba's Energy Science and Technology Laboratory: "To get a magnet or coil or even a wire we could use with complete confidence could take...

For the twelve months after June 1, employers will risk only a citation for any violations. After that, they can be hit with penalties that range from $250 to $2,000 for each illegal worker hired. For repeated offenses, the fine will rise to as much as $10,000 for each illegal alien. Employers, however, cannot be fined for illegals hired before Nov. 6, 1986, the date on which the bill was passed...
...naive notion that children grow up and leave home when they're 18, and the truth is far from that," says Sociologist Larry Bumpass of the University of Wisconsin in Madison. Today, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, 59% of men and 47% of women between 18 and 24 depend on their parents for housing, some living in college dorms but most at home. In 1970 the figures were 54% and 41%. Also, 14% of men and 8% of women ages 25 to 34 are dependent on their parents for housing, compared with 9.5% and 6.6% in 1970. "This...
