...meet the needs of today's disabled population. "We used to look at people who were disabled as shut-ins," she says. "Not anymore. Computers, new materials and new attitudes have revolutionized our industry. If you can move one muscle in your body, wiggle a pinkie or twitch an eyebrow, we can design a switch to allow you to operate in your environment...
Schwarzkopf reeled off impressive figures last week: 33 of 36 bridges hit on the supply lines between Iraq and Kuwait; truck traffic on the main Baghdad- to-Kuwait City road reduced to 10% of normal.

Dewey Tomko estimates that there are only ten or 15 really successful players, whose lives and incomes would be comparable to those of the world's best tennis professionals. Sure, he admits when an eyebrow is raised, there are a lot of others who scuffle along at $200,000 a year, "but that's as bad as having...
