Even Wall Street took notice, knocking a couple of points off McCaw Cellular, Contel Cellular and Motorola the day after Reynard's appearance on the Larry King Live show, and then extending the sell-off through much of last week. The Cellular Telecommunications Industry Association was finally forced to respond, announcing last Friday that it would fund new studies and ask the government to review the findings...
...really understands the long-term health consequences of holding a microwave transmitter next to your brain because nobody has thoroughly studied them. To ease fears, Motorola held a press conference last week and claimed that "thousands of studies" had proved their cellular telephones safe. But when asked to name three studies that showed the phones do not cause tumors, a company spokesman could cite only one 10-year-old report and two others with ambiguous results.

Last year it teamed up with both companies' most bitter rivals -- Apple Computer and Motorola -- to develop advanced software and microprocessors for a new generation of desktop computers. In selecting Apple and Motorola, IBM bypassed its longtime partners. Just as Microsoft's standard operating system runs only on computers built around Intel's computer chips, Apple's software runs only on Motorola's chips. Although IBM has pledged that the new system will eventually run on a variety of machines...
...nearly 200 years old, remains an industry leader in synthetic materials. Philip Morris started as a tobacco shop in 1847 but is now a $55 billion-a- year company that sells everything from beer to breakfast cereal.

Created by Congress in 1987, Sematech is a research-and-development group financed on a fifty-fifty basis by the Pentagon and a group of 12 U.S. electronics companies, including Intel, Motorola and IBM. Based in Austin, Sematech set out to restore U.S. dominance in advanced chipmaking equipment, like circuit-printing machines...
