...interns won jobs this summer at seven of Time Inc.'s eight magazines, the Picture Collection, Time-Life Books and Teletext, a video information and entertainment service. An editorial committee selected them from among the 66 applications sent to Time Inc. by 23 universities. Says Senior Editor José M.

At the time, Cunningham was not employed by Bendix, but two years earlier, as Agee's protégé, she had briefly served as vice president for strategic planning at Bendix. Agee grossly underestimated Martin Marietta's defenses. The company retaliated...

Consumers are beginning to complain that without expensive printers and disc drives, many of the low-priced machines are little more than video-game players with built-in keyboards.
