...machine, which weighs only 20 Ibs. and can be carried in a tan tote bag, has many of the features Apple introduced in January 1983 with its Lisa computer. It uses a "mouse," a pointing device the size of a stick of butter, that permits users to give commands to the computer with just a push of a button.

The Moscow Olympics had a bear, the 1984 Los Angeles Games have a bald eagle, and for the 1984 Louisiana World Exposition, the city fathers of New Orleans picked a pelican. Last week the bird showed up at a Louisiana-sponsored State Department reception, to the amusement of Secretary of State George Shultz, 62. Perhaps his department needs a mascot too. How about...
