...transcript, but little else. What graduates of the nonsensical "No Nonesense" approach to learning do once the land their coveted jobs remains unclear. But with EMPLOYERS, SALARIES and CHANCES FOR PROMOTION, the relentless pursuit of SUCCESS would seem likely to continue. It is in this renewed but more mam-month crusade that the notorious Princeton non-graduate insists she should be free of the label "plagiarist." Crafts and Hauther presumably composed this book on their own, but their achievement seems even more reprehensible than that of Napolitano...
...Kinokawa Mam, a 92,207-ton ore carrier, pulled out of Tokyo harbor last week on its maiden voyage to Australia. When Captain Yukio Imai wanted to change speed, he did not order a crew member to yank the traditional brass-handled lever. Instead, he spoke through a microphone to the ship's computerized engine control, which has a voice synthesizer and recognition device developed by Japan's Sodensha Electronics Ltd. The control device can comprehend eleven verbal commands, from "Full ahead" to "Full astern," given by the captain or two of his officers. To show that...

In May, during joint U.S.Japanese naval exercises, U.S. vessels were blamed for cutting expensive salmon-fishing lines. Last week it appeared that Japanese ships or shadowing Soviet vessels might have been responsible, but the exercises had already been suspended. Finally, Suzuki's apparently successful visit to Washington in May turned into an embarrassment after a joint communique referred...
...more than a husk after a 66-day fast in the H-block section of Northern Ireland's Maze Prison. He was the first I.R.A. member to starve himself to death since 1976, the 13th Irish Nationalist to do so in this century. Sands had failed in his mam aim: to force the British government to grant special political status to himself and 700 other I.R.A. members imprisoned in the Maze. But he had managed to fan Republican passions - and street violence - to levels unseen in the North in nearly a decade. His death raised the specter of more...
