...they rolled away from Portland's fashionable Oregon Episcopal School, the 15 students and three adult leaders were swept up in the buoyant mood of people off for an adventure. The agenda: a fast round-trip climb of 11,239- ft. Mount Hood. By 2:30 a.m. on Monday last week, the group, light in spirits and equipment alike, had traveled the 70 miles to Hood's base and started the climb. Why not? They planned to get back before dark.

...specialty is workstations, high-powered desktop computers that perform as well as much larger and more expensive minicomputers. Favored by scientists and engineers, workstations can manipulate graphics and data many times as fast as standard personal computers. In its short life, Sun has captured 20% of workstation sales in the U.S., and is rapidly gaining on Chelmsford, Mass.- based Apollo, which first developed that kind of computer and still holds 39% of the market. The stakes in the competition are enormous: workstation sales are expected to surge from $735 million last year to $2.5 billion...

Other researchers reported that many of the traits associated with Type-A behavior, including fast-paced speech and eating and a sense of urgency about time, do not seem to increase the risk of heart attack. Of all the supposedly dangerous Type-A traits, said Redford Williams of Duke University, "only the hostility aspect appears to be related to disease." Like many at the conference, Williams...
