...feels, even members of this age group should be warned of bad health habits that could mean trouble later in their lives. That the computer can do. The only prior physical measurements it needs are height, weight, blood pressure and serum cholesterol, which can easily be taken by a technician rather than a doctor. Adds Jensen: "I believe people will make significant changes just based on awareness...
Learning Process. Dayton, a devout Mormon, studied radio and television at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, later wound up as a cab driver and part-time film technician in Los Angeles before deciding that the only way he could break into the business in a big way would be to become a film maker himself. He now drives a brown Cadillac Seville (license: GRATED) and is working on a deal to merge with a California book publisher. Why? Says he: "It looks to us like a synergistic merger.

Some are buried under ice-covered river crossings, and they will have to be dug up and, if necessary, rewelded before the salmon return next spring. That chore, wryly says one Alyeska technician, promises to be "another wildly interesting experiment in arctic engineering." It could add to the project's cost, which has already soared from an early estimate of $900 million in the late 1960s to $7.7 billion today. Some officials reckon that the hassle over the welds will help push...
