...installation of our global computer system. "TIME was in the Dark Ages in 1984," she says. "Many correspondents were working on typewriters and sending their copy by wire." Now, thanks in no small part to training they received from her, they write on computers and use telephone lines to transmit their stories with the press of a key. "Some people take to it like a duck to water," Davis says, "and others require a lot of hand-holding." One incentive for the correspondents to learn, of course, is that they know they can use the system to contact Davis quickly...
...chief executive of Massachusetts, you have had an opportunity to affect the national-security policy of the country as a whole, and your record is not reassuring. You have steadily prevented Massachusetts' participation in the Ground Wave Emergency Network, a communications system designed to transmit warnings or presidential orders to the Strategic Air Command and the North American Aerospace Defense Command if the nation were under nuclear attack. Of 56 intended GWEN sites around the country, 52 have now been completed. Only your state and Rhode Island continue as holdouts. This Massachusetts gap in the national-warning system is particularly...

ABC noted that it was the first to transmit pictures from inside the Kremlin, and CBS landed an interview with former Moscow Party Chief Boris Yeltsin. CBS's Rather, meanwhile, was the only anchor to get a face-to- face encounter with Gorbachev. It came by chance when the CBS crew, shooting inside the Kremlin, spotted the Soviet leader's entourage.

To achieve this, the M.I.T. team built a gearbox with a 2-to-3 ratio instead of using a standard bicycle chain to transmit pedal power to the 11-ft. propeller. In addition, Aeronautical Engineer Mark Drela designed an extra-thin wing that provides 30% more aerodynamic lift than stumpier conventional wings. The team chose a strong, lightweight graphite compound to mold the plane's hollow, dime-thick spine...
