...Society. Computer audit programs are selling so swiftly that the leading accounting firms are moving into the business. Peat, Marwick, Mitchell & Co., for instance, now markets its own program, called System 2190. FBI experts like Agent Paul Nolan, however, contend that so far such programs have largely failed to detect frauds by sophisticated criminals...
...most extraordinary political dramas this nation has seen. At noon on Wednesday, Jan. 20, with no special fanfare planned, the President completes a year in office, only one-fourth of his allotted term. The impact on Reagan of this first year is subtle, hard to detect by even those close to him. He tells more jokes than he used to, perhaps as a diversion from grim dilemmas and grimmer decisions. His infrequent secret moments may have lower depths than before...
...might have achieved, the countless hours spent at coursework, the imagination and creativity both inspired and refined.

Gorenstein's proposal--still on hold--is a "large area module array of reflectors," known as LAMAR, which is designed to detect X-rays from a range of sources including stars, galaxies and black holes. "LAMAR will allow us to precisely locate various cosmic objects and lead us to a better understanding of their nature," Gorenstein said, adding that LAMAR's bank of reflectors will also simultaneously survey the universe at a wider angle than previously possible...
