...perhaps even delete, certain key files may have been foiled by another feature of the system. Like most computers, the NSC mainframe deletes electronic documents not by obliterating the data they contain, but by removing their file names from a central disk directory. The body of information remains intact indefinitely -- or until the space it occupies is written over with new data. Thus a resourceful programmer, armed with a description of a document that has been zapped, can often resurrect it from the disk. "We were living under a delusion," admitted one Administration official after North's computer notes were...
...last week's announcement was, of course, a milestone. Even though Iacocca said AMC will remain intact as a Chrysler subsidiary, at least for a time, the sale agreement marks the demise of a firm with origins that date back to 1902 and the production at Kenosha of the firstone-cylinder Rambler automobile by the Thomas B. Jeffery Co. A series of mergers culminated in the formation of American Motors in 1954. In the late 1950s and early 1960s, under the chairmanship of George Romney, the company carved out a niche for itself as a groundbreaking producer of small classics...

Says Catharine Garmany, an astronomer at the University of Colorado: "It is probably shaking in its boots, but we're beginning to think it's still there."

Old age is nothing new, of course, but for an entire generation to reach old age with its membership almost intact is something new. Until this century, death had no more relation to old age than it had to any other period of life. In fact, it had less...
...about $4, to more than $19 per bbl. But OPEC's continued weakness soon surfaced. Last month certain members were reported to be cheating on the cartel's production accord, and prices fell below $15 per bbl. Even as Saudi Arabia worked last week to keep the production agreement intact, causing prices to rise about $2, to $18 per bbl., many traders doubted that the pact would ultimately stick. Few OPEC watchers believe that the cartel will be able to push prices higher than $20 per bbl. in the next two years...
