...only clear-cut statement about the future came from Steven Jobs, 28, chairman of the board of Apple Computer, Inc. Within two years, Jobs predicted, more computers than automobiles will go on the market. "They should be well designed," he said. "But well designed or not, they will sell anyway." To some of his listeners, this indicated that Apple considers design dispensable gift wrapping. It also raised the specter of technology and engineering moving ahead of design instead of following from it, with the result that the style of buildings, computers and graphics would merely reflect expediency.

...left wing. In the suburban pubs and fringe theaters that form London's equivalent of off-Broadway, playwrights have been declaiming for months against Thatcherism and for the nuclear freeze.

...voice into "another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind." They grew up, or at least aged, to become successful film makers: John Landis with National Lampoon's Animal House, Joe Dante with The Howling, George Miller with The Road Warrior and Steven Spielberg with half of the megahit movies of the past eight years. But they never forgot The Twilight Zone. In Steven Spielberg's E.T., one teen-ager hypes the spookiness by singing Marius Constant's ding-ding-ding-ding theme from the TV show; and Spielberg's Poltergeist...
