But with conventional supercomputers aging and unable to meet future demands, mainstream computer makers are starting to warm up to parallel computing. In perhaps the biggest endorsement yet, IBM last week formed a joint venture with Hillis' company, Thinking Machines, to incorporate parallel technology into Big Blue's line of large computers. The deal marks a major concession by Big Blue, which for years has tried to develop its own parallel computers...

The town's first racial protest, moreover, is a sit-in that might have been a model for Gandhi. To protest the verdict in a case that Forrest has prosecuted, demonstrators gather slowly on the courthouse steps. They sit motionless, hushed, intense -- almost holy. The way it was?
