Licensing agreements allow the Japanese to launch their own satellites, but not to go into the business of launching payloads for other countries. That situation will soon change. Japan hopes to replace all American-made parts in its rockets with homemade hardware by 1992, clearing the way for its entry into the commercial launch business...
...October the Zurichers confirmed their result, which other researchers duplicated and then tried to beat. A slow-moving branch of physics became a horse race as laboratories around the world attempted to push temperatures higher. Last week's announcement does not end the competition. Says Paul Fleury, director of AT&T Bell Laboratories' Physical Research Laboratory: "It took physicists 75 years to raise superconductivity temperatures by 19 degrees. We have more than doubled that in the last 75 days. We're now dealing with new science, and we don't know what the upper limits...
More than anything else, Hoosiers resembles one of those NFL Game of the Week films, with the pounding score and super-slow motion. But there, at least, you generally give a damn about the teams that are playing. Here, you really are given no motivation, beyond the need to create in your mind a reasonable explanation for the driving synthetic soundtrack and didactic, pedestrian dialogue...

By 1992 sales of furniture will be about 30% lower than they were in 1982. Manufacturers expect that the growth in consumer electronics sales, now booming along...
