...data bases that now exist in the U.S. range from general information services like the Source, a Reader's Digest subsidiary in McLean, Va., which can provide stock prices, airline schedules or movie reviews, to more specialized services like the American Medical Association's AMA/NET, to real esoterica like the Hughes Rotary Rig Report.

...positively hypnotic when he takes the computer gospel to the young. Jobs is youthful enough to fit right in and both bright enough and rich enough to get respect. Certainly, he does not live like a superstar. His pleasant home in Los Gates is nothing that would interest Architectural Digest: freshly laundered shirts lie on the floor of an unfurnished second bedroom, a love letter is magneted to the kitchen fridge, the master bedroom holds a dresser, a few framed photos (Einstein, Jobs with his buddy Governor Jerry Brown, a guru), a mattress, an Apple II. He has forsaken vegetarianism...

Eventually the system will consist of four satellites ringing the earth at roughly equal distances from one another.

...bends over to kiss me. I don't want him to I think of case histories, devoted wives who turned kleptomaniac two days month, the mother who threw her baby out into the snow. It was in Reader's Digest, she had a hormone disturbance, love is all chemical I want it to he over, this long abrasive competitions for the role of victim.
