...sabotage? The Pentagon, which spends $50 million a year on computer-safeguard research alone, protects its systems from hackers by transmitting classified data on private telephone lines. These are usually encased in metal tubes and filled with high-pressure gas. A break in the tube resulting from an unauthorized tap causes a telltale loss of pressure. Furthermore, all classified files are in codes that are changed daily, even hourly for acutely sensitive information...
...Soviet Union as a Utopia of artistic freedom. But White Nights sails giddily over political realities like the farm animals in a Chagall landscape. When Kolya Rodchenko (Baryshnikov) is "welcomed back" by the KGB, he is put in the custody of Raymond Greenwood (Gregory Hines), a black tap dancer who defected from the U.S. after Viet Nam. Poor Raymond is a neurotic mess; glamorous Kolya has the nimble tread of melancholic star quality. Raymond agonizes about his family back home; Kolya never visits or mentions the family he must have left stranded. Raymond hates U.S. politics, but the disco beat...
Samuel Smith’s Oatmeal Stout: Repeat after me: there are better stouts than Guinness. Besides a slick ad campaign and nitrogenating capsules in each bottle, bottled Guinness has little going for it.

Fitted with a carbon dioxide cartridge, the shiny plastic appliance fizzes tap water into salt-free club soda. Adding flavor concentrates will make instant plain or diet cola, tonic, root beer or the popular fruit sodas. Compared with supermarket soda prices, which can soar as high as 50¢ for a 12-oz. brand-name can, Soda Stream at 15¢ per bottle is a bargain. The initial investment of $39.95 buys...
...tap that reservoir? Even if a majority of South African whites were prepared to accept Momberg's ideas about power sharing, which they are not at present, it is by no means clear whether it would be acceptable to a majority of blacks. With the current wave of police actions and arrests, a familiar pattern is beginning to emerge. The United Democratic Front, founded in 1983 to organize broad-based multiracial opposition to the government, has revealed some sympathy for the outlawed and exiled African National Congress. One by one, U.D.F. leaders have been put under surveillance or detained, actions...
