Meanwhile, library officials are preparing for the short-term adjustments that will inevitably result as students and faculty begin using the new terminals. They say there is no way to predict how many people will use the newly installed computers or how the technology will affect the research habits of the community as a whole...
...Senior Writer Tom Callahan landed in London to interview Daley Thompson, Britain's two-time Olympic decathlon champion. "Does he know you're coming?" asked the agent, pointing out Thompson's notorious avoidance of the press. "He doesn't give interviews, you know."

Sometimes the results are practical: demonstrating to a runner that he is placing more stress than needed on his ankles.

The horrid litany is not just the result of binges. Even one "hit" of crack can irreparably damage a fetus or breast-fed baby...
