...shop floor and began taking apart TV sets with his bare hands, assessing the cost of the components, piece by piece. His conclusion: GE's profit margins could be found not in producing the set's electronic components but in building its plastic-and-wood casing and picture tube, a process that could be done most cheaply in the U.S. GE quickly shifted its TV-assembly plant from Japan to Indiana, a move that put the division in the black within two years. "Ira's not some hyperintellectual consultant who throws an incomprehensible leather-bound report on your desk," says...
...think Clinton is making a gutsy call, really the mark of a leader. There's no question a majority of the American people at this time would oppose aid to Russia. Clinton realizes that if the Yeltsin government goes down, it means the peace dividend is down the tube and the defense budget has to be increased by billions of dollars. ON WESTERN AID TO RUSSIA: It has to be substantially more than has currently been discussed. We must avoid doing just enough to get our feet wet, but not enough to work. If we're not prepared...
Drugs such as AZT and ddI offer some temporary firepower against the HIV virus.

Most of the progress has come from the prevention and treatment of the dangerous secondary infections that are the hallmark of AIDS...
Year by year, baseball's sunlit magic withers (good field, no dreams), done in by domes, fake-o-turf, salary stats and the fact that TV's three-man, pitcher-batter-catcher game misses most of the point.

Radiologists can often solve the problem. Using their skill with X-ray imaging to guide them, they make a needle puncture into a vein in the groin and thread a very thin tube to the testes. The doctors then seal off the varicose veins with coils or chemicals that are sent through the tube. Johns Hopkins researchers reported that of 71 couples in which the man had had the procedure and his partner no infertility treatment, 60% of the women got pregnant...
