...some ways, people with machines orphaned by IBM are better off than those who bought from firms that filed for bankruptcy (such as Franklin, Gavilan, Osborne and Victor) or simply quit the computer field (Coleco, Mattel, Timex). IBM's higher-priced models are still enormously successful, which ensures a steady stream of IBM compatible software, some of which will run on the PCjr. Moreover, the giant company has promised to continue to provide parts and service "as long as the product is around...
...through the center of his body. He then turned slightly to his right and shot Allen, who had turned to flee, in the back; he fired again, wounding Ramseur in the arm and chest; he then fired a fourth time, a shot that may have missed, at Cabey. Said Victor Flores, 47, a transit authority employee who witnessed the mayhem: "The kids were frightened, backing off, trying to get away. There was no reason to shoot them. They fell one after another. Bang! Bang! Bang!" By his own account, Goetz then walked over to Cabey, who was sprawled...
...story of Schwab's work and career is itself one of rediscovery. Poet, biographer, novelist, editor, translator, and scholar, Raymond Schwab (1884-1956) was an impressive homme de letters little known outside his native France, mainly due to his untranslated works.

This was no easy task. While spectrograms made by one person repeating the same word look alike, those made by another differ considerably. Zue discovered, however, that no matter how unlike spectrograms appear, they all have certain features in common. For example, the s in stop will appear as a dark rectangular wedge, no matter...
...least a footnote in history: in this modest, comfortably decorated chamber at the Soviet mission in Geneva, much of the negotiating had taken place before the 1979 SALT II agreement. It seemed a fitting place to step into after the warm if formal greeting offered last week by Victor Karpov, the chief Soviet negotiator for a new round of arms talks, to his U.S. counterparts, Max Kampelman, John Tower and Maynard Glitman. Before Karpov waved the Americans in, he said to Kampelman, the leader: "I hope that our meeting will not be the last one but one of the first...
