...time between diagnosis and death and offering the hope that a full life for the disease's victims may some day be possible. Said New York City Health Commissioner Stephen Joseph in Montreal: "We are very close to turning the corner on this epidemic." But there is a price tag to this success. Medical bills for the growing pool of infected people will be staggering. And a surprising number of AIDS-virus carriers are returning to high-risk behavior that could spread the infection to others...
Although only 24 students showed up for T.M.G.'s orientation session last week, a near capacity enrollment of about 200 in grades 10 through 12 is expected by 1991. For an annual price tag of $17,000 (for boarders), Japanese parents can rest assured that their children will get a typical 35-hour-a-week Japanese high school curriculum, including five classes each of English, math and Japanese and four of science and social studies. American students are welcome, but most of the classes will be taught in Japanese. Language was still a bit of a problem for T.M.G. tenth...

...underwater-surveillance system. Vastly more powerful than the Navy's most sophisticated sonar, it can identify real threats to the base, distinguishing them from the normal cacophony of noise in the cold, murky waters of Puget Sound. Developed at a cost of nearly $30 million, it can spot and tag intruding divers, making it possible for them to be intercepted, and can outmaneuver any underwater machine. Yet just about the only maintenance required is 20 lbs. of fish a day and an occasional pat. The system, it turns out, is a squadron of dolphins...
