Something tells me undergrads weren't pulling out their planners 25 years ago to pencil in Sunday brunch with their roommates. We hear the casualties of the computer age during exam time--with those who can no longer think sequentially and long for a word processor to help them organize their thoughts. Never mind love--there's no time for anything. Off to the gym, off to coffee, off to call...
...down on a sofa in the Justice Department "war room" with two grads from his computer-science program--PETER CREATH, 23, and CHRISTIAN HICKS, 24--and stuck a tape in the VCR.

Luckily the delay will not affect the mission's objective of broadcasting images and data back to Earth. And by then the Burger King should be open...
...physics of the record disk. Those in the outer circle move with greater speed, and the closer you get to the pivot the slower they turn. So [laughing] it's the same thing. Those who are closest to the hub of politics move the slowest. It may take them a few years to accept the leadership. There's a cadre of people who were ahead of me when I entered the Likud, who never really accepted my leadership...
