Elsie's has served River House residents ably for generations. Regretabbly, the place is entering the 21st century with high tech signs, moderately prompt service, and opperssive video games in an adjacent mini-arcade. But everyone must sample the famous TD (Turkey Deluxe), and Elsie's offers a neat breakfast for under $2. The Kennedys allegedly broke from touch football games in front of Winthrop House for snacks and chow...
...steel mills, the vast concrete expanses of its dams and the monumental skyscrapers towering over its cities. In the future, industrial might will flow increasingly from the power to make things small: the microscopic electrical circuits that form the core of computers, calculators, missile control panels, televisions, video games and all other electronic products. Called semiconductors, these circuits are most commonly etched in invisibly intricate detail on thin silicon chips as small as a baby's fingernail. Marvels in miniature, the chips can execute commands, perform complex calculations and store libraries of information. What iron and steel were...
...Turner's troubles have led many industry observers to predict that within the next year or two he will have to sell or take in a partner, or else see CNN go bankrupt (the total value of his holdings: $250 million to $300 million, says a top-rank video executive).

In borrowing from them, he estimated losses of $32 million from CNN's start through the first half of this year; he is $6 million over that total...
...modernization program scheduled to be completed in September is already changing life for local forecasters, whether they are blow-dried TV personalities or the salty voices on marine weather radio. By installing minicomputers and video screens at its regional offices and connecting them to its nationwide computer network, the NWS's new Automation of Field Operations and Services (AFOS) is eliminating the need for the paper weather maps and long rolls of teletype that once decorated the walls of every weather office. Using AFOS, a meteorologist summons up on a video screen the weather service's national data...
...addition to all the exercise, the brothers practice their act three times a week, trying to do the quad ten or 15 times each session. Most of the attempts are recorded on video tape, and when the acrobats are through, they watch what they have just done. Like football players after the game, they study their movements so that they can detect split-second errors in timing. They actually have six practice quads on tape, but the only stunts that are officially counted are those before a paying audience...
