...network of similar machines. Price tags range as high as $10,000; Altos, Corvus, Control Data, Cromemco, Digital Equipment, Fortune, Hewlett-Packard, Nippon Electric, North Star, Olivetti, TeleVideo, Toshiba, Vector, Victor, Xerox and Zenith are among the biggest names in this upscale but increasingly crowded field. Even proletarian Apple is joining the crowd with its long-awaited Apple IV (code-named Lisa), due to be unveiled in mid-January. Lisa's probable price range: somewhere between $7,000 and $10,000.

To carry the moviegoer through the passionate debates on socialism, organized labor and the right of the Comintern to establish a proletarian dictatorship as rigid as the Tsar's, Beatty banks on star quality-and it works...
...dogs made him. Sometimes they were royal dogs, like Victoria's spaniel Dash, or Albert's black greyhound Eos. Sometimes they were proletarian lurchers and terriers. Almost always, however, they were moralized. The "pathetic fallacy," the somewhat tiresome habit of affixing human feelings and traits to animals or plants, reached its height in Victorian England.
