...computers marketed around the world. Now it sells less than 9%, and its machines seem to be disappearing from offices (except in the publishing business). Without market share, the worry goes, software companies will not write programs that entice more users, and market share will shrink further. Such uncertainties overshadow Apple's success last year at introducing an entire new line of computers, the Power Macintosh, which is elegantly designed and performs well and dependably compared with similar machines from other companies...
...relief as August's hypochondria sister Delia, an acclaimed author with a scandalous history. Her character was supposed to be livelier than everyone else's during her scenes, and she realized her potential without being melodramatic.

But the FDA gets nervous when a drug's unapproved uses overshadow its original purpose. Retin-A cream, for example, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of acne in 1971, but then, much to the FDA's consternation, it was widely prescribed to smooth wrinkles caused by aging and overexposure...
