In the black-owned group, computer firms and other high- tech ventures showed some of the strongest increases. One such company, Maxima of Rockville, Md., which provides computer services to the Government, boosted sales 24.3% last year...

...shame that George Harrison's Handmade Films, which had become a trademark for quality silliness like Time Bandits or the darker Brazil, should sink to almost pre-Vaudevillian gags in Water. Then again, when the audience is laughing out loud, we often forget to hang on to the story line...
