If the Iran-contra scandal has left many Americans uneasy about Reagan's grip on his job, last week's performance demonstrated that the still popular President retains at least some of his powers.

Although the company with its vast resources (1985 sales: $50 billion) depends on PCs for less than 10% of its revenues, IBM does not intend to abandon the market. Industry insiders believe that it is about to market a new version of the PC-AT, with...
