Although light reaching the planet from the sun is only a quarter as bright as it was near Saturn, scientists expect Voyager's cameras (as well as its other instruments) to reveal considerably more detail as the spacecraft draws closer to Uranus and finally swoops to within 66,000 miles of its surface on Jan. 24. Voyager's odyssey will not end there. Accelerated to 45,000 m.p.h. and rerouted by Uranian gravity, it will soar still farther away from the sun, encounter Neptune in 1989, then head out of the solar system on an endless journey to the stars...

A husband and wife with two children would pay no taxes if they earned less than $13,100 in 1987, in contrast to $9,575 currently. The Ways and Means proposal would accomplish this partly by increasing the personal exemption from $1,080 to $2,000 for short-form filers...

...nurse, I know that the human body is a well-integrated unit, each organ depending on other body parts for perfect functioning. If a vital organ such as the heart, lung or liver gives out, the support systems are weakened as well. Patients are unrealistic when they expect every operation to be a medical miracle. But doctors are equally unrealistic when they try to play God. Beatrice Warren Aptos, Calif. Women...
...company is headed by a woman [ECONOMY & BUSINESS, Dec. 2]. I would like to point out that one of the largest "businesses" in Illinois, an enterprise that had $1.2 billion in sales in fiscal year 1985, is headed by a woman, Illinois State Lottery Superintendent Rebecca Paul. I expect the lottery under her leadership to produce profits of more than $500 million for education in the coming year. For Illinois that is certainly "Fortune 500." James R. Thompson, Governor State of Illinois Springfield Computer Convert...
