...THEY CALLED REAGAN THE GREAT COMMUNICATOR. BILL Clinton's new budget proposal has been released as an IBM-compatible floppy disc and is selling surprisingly well. The disc, which also contains his speech to Congress and other supporting documents, sold 900 copies its first week, mostly by word of mouth.

In one experiment, they dropped 35,000 grains of sand onto the pile one by one. As the sides grew too steep -- in some cases, by only a single grain of sand -- avalanches would make the pile collapse. Then it would start growing steeper again, until it was time for the next avalanche...
