...young about what it means to be a successful woman. That debate was further fueled by the announcement by TV newswoman Connie Chung that she would abandon the fast track at CBS in a last-ditch drive for motherhood at age 44. Meanwhile, male role models are also in flux. Wall Street wonder boy Peter Lynch hung up his $13 billion mutual fund to do good deeds and have more time with his family.

But developing reliable over-the-horizon radar proved tricky because the composition of the ionosphere is always in flux, making it more like a mass of moving clouds than a smooth reflecting mirror. The OTH radar overcomes this problem by using computer power: the software enables technicians to chart constantly the intensity and thickness of the ionosphere, telling operators where conditions are best and which radio frequencies to use for maximum performance...
