...With respect to any group there's no specific overall target that we have, so it comes out the way it comes out," Hoyte says. "I feel pretty good about the mix of Asian-Americans in the whole variety of different students we see within that community...
...settled our prize for best machine on the new Nintendo 64, which has done to video-gaming what the 707 did to air travel. Since arriving on American shores in late September, the 64 has set records for sales, hype and, most important, slack jaws.
