Equating the giant strides of computers to the simulation of human intelligence is at best scientifically naive and at worst sensationalistic fuel to the public's suspicions about computers...
Much more may follow. To gas distributors, the logic of importing LNG seems irrefutable. Natural gas is a clean-burning fuel that is relatively scarce in the U.S.; in many foreign countries it gushes out of oilfields in great volume, but is burned off because there is no local market for it. Granted, it cannot be piped across the oceans, but why not liquefy it to one six-hundredth of its normal volume and haul it to the U.S. aboard ship...

U.S. automakers, especially Ford, are stepping up their investigation of these materials as an alternative to steel in a new generation of lighter cars that will burn less fuel. Ford President Lee Iacocca says that the composites will cut by 600 kg. (1,300 lbs.) the weight of a prototype car planned...
Uniquely, greater Washington's economy improves in both good times and bad. Not by magic. Public problems are to Washington what oil and gas are to Texas. In Washington the fuel crisis that is but a specter everywhere else takes the shape of a new Department of Energy.

Instead, they will offer modernized versions of the DC-10 and L-1011. Boeing is gambling big that the airlines will prefer an all-new plane that will still be flying, and coming out in up-to-date versions of its own, in the year...
