...ways and the old often mix badly. The faith of some recently established congregations in rural Thailand tends to waver if prayers go unanswered. At the Ban Ti Christian Church north of Lamphun, a large blackboard hangs on the wall behind the pulpit. Prayers for rain, a speedy harvest and painless cures for various maladies are recorded every Sunday, then checked off the following week against the results...
TEXAS INSTRUMENTS. The Dallas-based giant triggered the battle on Aug. 2 by announcing that beginning Sept. 1, it would offer the $100 rebate on its TI-99/4A personal computer, which has a list price of $299. Just two years ago, virtually the same model sold for about $1,000. Yankee Group estimates that Texas Instruments now has about 23% of the market for inexpensive home computers...
...took much notice that Schlafly's insistence upon strength through inequality could have been based on a fear and contempt for men at least as deep as, say, Radical Feminist Ti-Grace Atkinson's.

...make matters worse, Japanese companies, including Hitachi, Nippon Electric and Fujitsu, are charging headlong at TI's semiconductor supremacy. They have already captured about 70% of the market for one new advanced chip, the 64K RAM (for random access memory), which can store 65,536 separate bits of information and is expected to become one of the most widely used pieces of computer hardware. TI last summer abandoned another information-storage technology, called the magnetic bubble memory, because it never caught on with enough computer makers. The company had invested more than $50 million to develop the bubble memory...
...While TI still leads the semiconductor race, the firm has staggered badly in its efforts to sell products to consumers and small businesses. Its research and development prowess remains unsurpassed, but its marketing strategies have repeatedly failed. TI's entry into the personal-computer business is a prime example. The dominant companies in that market, including Apple and Tandy, aimed their machines at business professionals who take complicated work home or at skilled hobbyists who seek a versatile living-room computer. TI, in contrast, targeted the ordinary American family for its model 99/4. The machine can play games, teach...
