Senior Richard Korhammer, who took last year off to train for a shot at the Olympic team, is back and should dominate the breaststroke events. Other big contributors for the Tigers should be Ty Nelson in the butterfly, Albert Price in the sprint freestyle and Joshua Glantz in the individual medley...
...help answer those questions, political scientist Michael Glantz of the National Center for Atmospheric Research has pioneered the use of a technique known as "forecasting by analogy" to predict the effects on society of future climatic change. In a series of case studies, Glantz and his colleagues analyzed the response of state and local governments to actual environmental events across the U.S., from a 12-ft. rise in the level of Utah's Great Salt Lake to the depletion of the aquifer that supplies groundwater to eight Great Plains states...
...When Glantz's forecasting technique is applied to the rest of the world, two things become clear. One is that virtually every long-term environmental change is occurring in miniature somewhere on the planet, whether it is a regional warming trend in sub-Saharan Africa or the vanishing coastline in Louisiana. The other is that Homo sapiens is an immensely resourceful species, with an impressive ability to accommodate sweeping change. In countries and regions hit by climatic upheavals, people have come up with a variety of solutions that are likely to have broad applicability to the global problems of tomorrow...

Experts differ on four-wheel steering's potential. Jerry Rivard, vice president of Bendix Electronics, a major auto supplier, calls it a "dramatic jump in technology" and predicts that it will be standard equipment on cars of the future. Ron Glantz, an auto analyst at Montgomery Securities, feels otherwise. "Other than parking," he says, "the only benefit is on gravel roads at speeds over 70 m.p.h." In Japan, where the technology was first marketed more than two years ago, car buyers seem favorably impressed. Nissan reports that 40% of the Japanese who pick the flashy Skyline model ask for four...
