...abruptly switched from a "video resume" of Glenn's accomplishments to direct, no-nonsense voter appeals. Said Sawyer: "Everyone agreed we had to do something dramatic." Six days before the primary, Glenn taped a five-minute address in the home of a Nashua, N.H., supporter, urging voters to display their Yankee independence. The unedited videotape was rushed to Boston's station WBZ by helicopter seven minutes before its scheduled broadcast time. The spot was expensive (about $25,000 in air time for eleven showings), but well received, according to viewers polled afterward. Apparently it did not enough potential...

The simple costumes, which can't be pinned down to any one era, and the sparsely furnished set suggests tone rather than time, giving the singers the opportunity to display their superb voices and at the same time revealing the agelessness of Mozart's music...
...Super Bowls, several professional fights, an N.C.A.A. basketball championship and a couple of Rolling Stones concerts, among other events.

Some of the most interesting products on display last week were offshoots of research being done on artificial intelligence, a branch of computer science that teaches machines to simulate human thought. The first visible results of this work are programs that allow users to put questions to a computer in everyday language rather than in convoluted codes or obscure commands. Instead of typing commas, colons, numbers and letters, an operator can enter requests as straightforward as "Give me the top five salesmen in Pennsylvania." Two innovative firms, Microrim, from Bellevue, Wash., and Artificial Intelligence, from Waltham, Mass., demonstrated programs that...
Wealthy women are making 'closet liberation a cause that has almost universal support from husbands. While his wife Grace was off for two weeks on their yacht Gracara, Novelist Harold Robbins (Spellbinder) hired an engineer friend to design an automated clothes conveyor that could display her wardrobe at the touch of a button. "Before I installed this carrousel, we couldn't even find the dogs," cracks Robbins. "None of our cooks would stay. My wife's clothes filled up all their closets too." Though the new arrangement accommodates 700 garments, it holds only evening dresses, resort wear...
