...Spielberg and his two top executives, the married couple of Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, are balking at taking on the expanded film production that DreamWorks feels its live-action studio needs in order to thrive. DreamWorks, which released six films in 1998, wants at least to double that output. But Spielberg and his partners will restrict themselves to overseeing no more than half a dozen films a year. Spielberg also will revive his previously dormant production-company banner, Amblin, for some films. His financial stake in DreamWorks apparently remains unchanged...
...F.D.R. try Keynes' idea on a scale necessary to pull the nation out of the doldrums--and Roosevelt, of course, had little choice.

Between 1939 and 1944 (the peak of wartime production), the nation's output almost doubled, and unemployment plummeted--from more than 17% to just over...
...transistor was born just before Christmas 1947 when John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, two scientists working for William Shockley at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., observed that when electrical signals were applied to contacts on a crystal of germanium, the output power was larger than the input. Shockley was not present at that first observation. And though he fathered the discovery in the same way Einstein fathered the atom bomb, by advancing the idea and pointing the way, he felt left out of the momentous occasion...
...machine--a fairly simple typewriter-like contraption capable somehow of scanning, or reading, instructions encoded on a tape of theoretically infinite length. As the scanner moved from one square of the tape to the next--responding to the sequential commands and modifying its mechanical response if so ordered--the output of such a process, Turing demonstrated, could replicate logical human thought...
Aesthetic appreciation and awareness is often part of the transformative foreign experience. Although in the current techno-capitalist society of modern America, "quality of life" is often measured in output (and appropriated by grades or high salaries), "quality" abroad refers to the direct, titillating effect of sights, smells and tastes...
