...ground. Bathers near the pool where other survivors landed fled from the spray of shards. Many huddling near the casino's closed door, apparently unable to pry it open, died of smoke inhalation. Others farther inside perished immediately; rescue workers found their charred corpses sitting upright in chairs around the blackjack tables. The terror did not end on the mezzanine. Smoke poured out of the lower floors and wrapped the 22-story building in a dense cloak. On the twelfth floor, Nancy Brensson, 12, of Cresskill, N.J., was watching a rerun of The Carol Burnett Show while her mother...
Face it, if you still have 128k you're living in the dark ages. Leave the cave, walk upright and get some more memory. 512k of RAM (random access memory, or available storage space) allows you to stash more information in the computer at any given time. You can write longer papers, and your Mac will even perform many operations faster because it will have to access the disk drive less often. Especially if you are considering writing a thesis, or are upset with the snail-like pace of your computer, you need the added memory...
Everyone calls Marguerite Hanusa "Marge," and everyone who is anyone in the high plains Montana town of Choteau comes to Marge's adult piano and organ recital every year about this time. She holds it in the parlor of her house, where she has a Story & Clark upright, a Steinway baby grand and a two-tiered Conn with a full footboard.

After the music the party moves into...
Marge came in from the kitchen and addressed the crowd. She wore jet beads and a black blouse with a naughty scoop neck and black pajama pants, and she looked young and terrific. On the upright was a bouquet from her students. "I hope you all don't melt," she said. "Do you feel like sardines? I'm giving you all the air I can." It was a hot night for the high plains, and all the doors and windows were open. "I'm so proud of them," Marge went on. "I just hope nerves don't take over...
Most scientists agree that the small-brained australopithecines were the first manlike creatures to walk upright, 3.5 million or more years ago, and that their evolution ran parallel to that of humanity's direct ancestors. The dispute arises over details. Some researchers, including Anthropologist Donald Johanson, director of the Berkeley-based Institute of Human Origins, think that a single species, Australopithecus afarensis, which includes the celebrated 3 million-year-old skeleton called Lucy, was the common ancestor of all later australopithecines, as well as man. The two branches, they say, split about 3 million years ago, with the Australopithecus line...
