...soul of the new machine, developed in conjunction with the David Sarnoff Research Center, is the same basic technology used by U.S. missiles to distinguish between Soviet and American warplanes. A sensor scans the space in front of the TV searching for patterns of light and dark -- the shine of a nose, the line of a mouth -- that suggest the presence of a face. A computer then makes more detailed scans at higher and higher resolutions, trying to match facial features to those of family members stored in its memory. (An unfamiliar face would be recorded as a "visitor.") When...

When a roommate arbitrarily pulled out a book--Eldridge Cleaver's Soul On Ice--from his shelf, Granieri was asked to recall the first word.

The company will sell its $100 million-a-year wine-and-brandy business and 1,160 acres of prime vineyards to Heublein, a subsidiary of London-based Grand Metropolitan, for an undisclosed amount, perhaps as much as $150 million.
