...says top teaching pro Darrell Kestner. Superstars David Duval and Annika Sorenstam, he notes, have both taken to letting their head and eyes leave the ground at or even before impact, rather than lagging behind as the body comes out of its turn and releases toward the target. "That's the newest back-friendly swing change," says Kestner, "where the eyes and the head are releasing at impact. So there's very little strain on the neck and back...
...necessary to allow Rockwell to concentrate more on its core businesses, principally factory automation and aviation controls. (A possible result of divided attention: Rockwell in 1998 overestimated demand for new high-speed computer modems and got caught with what turned out to be outdated products.) Why this particular target for surgery? The semiconductor business is more volatile than Rockwell's other lines, says Davis; its investment needs are different, and the way employees are paid and promoted is different. Also, most of its business is in California, while Rockwell's other plants and customers are mainly in the Midwest. After...
...decision was a blow to advocates of get-tough crime policies. But in a widely noted concurring opinion, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor suggested that a less draconian approach--distinguishing gang members from innocent bystanders--might pass constitutional muster.

Word spread to wired dorms and bedrooms all over the world that U.S. government sites were the target du jour. A group called Masters of Downloading replaced the Senate's home page with its own anti-FBI screed; a Portuguese hacker named M1crochip defaced an obscure Interior Department page and vowed famously (at least for 15 minutes) to "go after every computer on the Net with a [name that ends...
TAKE A HIKE The more crowded our cities and suburbs become, the more we love to get away to the woods. Target Travel Club reports that 48% of families it surveyed like to pitch a tent as part of their vacation. Visits to national parks continue to rise, to a projected 295 million this year from 256 million in 1989. Besides the essentials, campers and hikers increasingly are packing such high-tech gizmos as night-vision goggles and hand-held global-positioning units that help Dad lead the way home without bread crumbs...
