Among them: the Denver library's information bank, which stores pollution and land-use data; the U.S. Senate's information pool, named LEGIS, which keeps tab on the fate of legislative proposals; and a computerized reference guide known as the Bibliographic Retrieval System. Delegates had only to press a few buttons to plug into storehouses of information containing such items as the Supreme Court's decision in Regents of the University of California vs. Allan Bakke...
