...other, more distant institutions via satellite. Through these links, speeches and seminars at any of these institutions can be viewed by faculty and students in all the others. Elsewhere, universities have launched even more ambitious ventures. Stanford offers engineering courses by closed-circuit TV so that employees in high-tech companies throughout Silicon Valley can attend class without leaving their place of work. The University of Washington gives televised courses to supplement the education of medical students in places as distant as Alaska, Idaho and Montana...
...from bets on the game, Eads and Johnson were not only interested but recruited Guards David Dominique and Bobby Thompson and Star Center John ("Hot Rod") Williams into the deal. Tulane beat Southern Mississippi by a single point. Two Saturdays later the players allegedly conspired to fix the Virginia Tech game, but the plan apparently misfired.

The thick pile carpet and acoustically padded walls are easily cleaned with the central vacuum- cleaning system. After dinner she may watch a prerecorded episode of Dallas on their VCR and remotecontrolled color TV. When...
TAKE A CLASSIC TALE of medieval love and romance, add a dash of Runyonesque comic relief, a soupcon of high-tech editing a jazzy MTV soundtrack and seal it with a magical spell and you've got Ladyhawke. This cinematic hodgepodge of seemingly incompatible elements really resolves itself into an eighties version of the Arthurian romance, replete with ladies fair and valiant men of arms...
