While it remains uncertain whether the manuscripts will return to Berlin or remain in Kiev, Wolff said the Packard Humanities Institute will make the collection available to musicians and scholars all over the world by creating digital copies of the archive...

...attention to the noise, Carleton (Carly) Fiorina was saying last week, as she was crashing through the highest of glass ceilings to become the CEO of computer maker Hewlett-Packard. Although her appointment has not been so ballyhooed as Sandra Day O'Connor's becoming the first woman Supreme Court Justice or Geraldine Ferraro's running for Vice President--or, for that matter, America's women winning the soccer World Cup--it is arguably more important than any of those milestones. If women have made great strides in gaining parity in politics and sports, it is in the workplace that...

Researchers at UCLA and Hewlett-Packard have succeeded in constructing microscopic integrated circuits using single molecules as building blocks, an achievement that could lead the way to stunningly powerful and compact computers. Conventional computers are powered by tiny circuits etched in silicon by a laser, but a computer based on molecule-sized circuits would be vastly more compact and require much less power -- James Heath, the UCLA professor leading the project, has suggested that a molecular computer with the processing power of 100 conventional PCs would be about the size of a grain of salt...

...companies have escaped the profit squeeze with one strategy alone. Most combine several approaches, or shift from one to another. Besides spinning off parts of their businesses, Hewlett-Packard and Rockwell International are carrying on more traditional--and in Rockwell's case, quite drastic--cost-cutting programs in remaining operations. Tommy Hilfiger has not only adjusted quickly to a changed marketing mix but also shifted garment production into Asian plants, where labor costs are lowest...

These strategies do not tell the full story behind this year's profit rebound. The Asian turmoil that burned Hewlett-Packard, Rockwell and many other U.S. companies in 1998 has yielded to a weak recovery that is at least less profit-destroying than a continued collapse. Contrary to all predictions, the American boom has not only rolled on but also speeded up. And marketing errors such as Mondavi's are relatively easy to recover from in an atmosphere of rising incomes and free consumer spending. But even if the 1998 profit lag was an aberration, as many economists think...
