...Tempo and Mercury Topaz compact autos, which sell for a base price of about $9,000. Apparently the bag option has little allure for many buyers, who have bought the safety devices on only 2% of the 189,000 Tempo and Topaz cars sold since the 1987 model year began. Last week Ford tried to pump new life into its air bags by slashing the price to $295. The company hopes that will move more air bag-equipped cars off dealers' lots...
...Jesse Jackson came down on opposite sides. Gephardt argued, "You answer the questions you are asked," & even intrusive ones. Lechery deserves discussion, he said, because "I don't think that's the way we want our leaders to act. I don't think that's a good role model for the country." Jackson insisted that Hart had been correct in ducking the adultery question. A candidate's morality, he said, should be judged by his stands on issues such as South African policy and the contras as well as bedroom behavior.

...nice and sunny the other day so I went out my garage and pulled the dustcover off my M-48 tank. She's a real beaut, vintage Korean-War model from back in the days of no-holds-barred V-8's and regular gasoline. I was about to start her up when I realized that the chrome and enamel "Kill" stick shift knob was missing. It's not like you can just walk into a tank shop and order a new one. Nowadays they're made of plastic with the words. "Drive safely" on them. It just wouldn...
That is true at the microscopic as well as the telescopic level. Michael Rossmann, who modeled the common-cold virus, became a convert to computer graphics after Purdue acquired its first graphics machine. Compared with a physical model, he says, "the computer is much more versatile. We can zoom in as close as we like; we can look at much more complicated structures. We can display the model on all sides and in different colors." In the old days he would often mark different atoms in his brass models with colored yarn -- which kept falling off. "The old methodology seems...
