...rites of summer! Baseball and sunbathing. Picnics by the old swimming hole. Heat prostration and killer mosquitoes. Steven Spielberg movies. For the fifth consecutive summer, this tireless auteur-mogul has placed his name on a fantasy adventure or two designed to turn sentient adults into wonder-lusting children. Spielberg directed neither of the inevitable hits before us: he wrote the story and served as an executive producer of The Goonies; he shepherded Back to the Future toward production, then pretty much left the film's creators on their merry own.

The move came as part of a major company reorganization. John Sculley, Apple's chief executive...

Consumers do seem to get benefits from ads. "Where there is lots of advertising, fees are lower," asserts Steven Cox, an economics professor at Arizona State University, who conducted a six-city study of lawyer advertising funded by the National Science Foundation in 1981-82. A larger 1982 study for the Federal Trade Commission compared legal costs in 17 cities. For such matters as simple wills, uncontested divorces and unopposed personal bankruptcies, consumers...
