State-by-state political arithmetic is even more cheering to Republican planners. They are counting on an all but solid West and South, with the possible exception of Texas, to give Reagan a long head start toward winning the 270 electoral votes necessary for a second term.

D'Rivera tends a little toward caution himself-"I like electronics," he says, "but I am very careful with it"-and, even when searching for fresh inspiration, tends to stay close to the roots...
Mark van Norman, who has a joint appointment as a Research Associate in computer graphics and as a Lecturer in Architecture, says that in the past five years new techniques like solid modelling methods have become possible because of improved software which is broadening graphics' applications. The computer can represent the physical model itself instead of a two-dimensional structure. According to van Norman this ability to reproduce a desk 100 times in a few minutes will revolutionize traditional architecture...
...since the solid modelling equipment is very expensive it is limited in the "big bucks--defense, automobiles, engineering and aircraft," van Norman says. "We're getting to the point where the lab has the capabilities...
