With the morning mists come the legends, the old bugle calls, the tramp of sure feet, voices raised in liberty's arguments. Soon enough Reagan will be down on the battlefield with Speaker of the House Tip O'Neill, and his days will be ordered by the cables from Moscow and the Middle East.

To be a computer-age thief, you need nothing more than an inexpensive home computer, a telephone and a few light-fingered skills. As in the Dalton case, computer passwords are often short and simple. Be sides, computer networks like Telenet or Datapac, frequently publicize their numbers...
...published in the official Communist Party newspaper, People's Daily, which, for the first time ever, acknowledged that Mao "personally initiated and led the Cultural Revolution." It was a mistake, the paper added, that "brought grave misfortune to the party and the people."
