Their efforts produced some stunning footage for Lucasfilm, including a 37- second hologram of a planet floating in space in Return of the Jedi. There was also a memorable one-minute sequence in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan of a barren, moonlike sphere being transformed into a living planet, complete with computer-generated mountains, oceans and blue-green atmospheric haze. But in the end, even Lucas balked at the cost. "I don't want to be in the R.-and- D. business," he said earlier this year. "It's just too time consuming and expensive." Enter Jobs...

President Reagan had other serious matters to discuss with Junejo: Pakistan's reputed effort to produce nuclear weapons (which Junejo denied) and Pakistan's support for mujahedin rebels...
Despite Stephenson's choice of words, however, the party he has put together won't resemble any backyard barbeque you've ever seen. The event will cost more than $1 million. Although President Ronald W. Reagan snubbed Harvard, the Prince of Wales and the Aga Khan '59 will find time to commemorate the 350th anniversary of higher education in America...
