...North took 55% of the vote and won Virginia's G.O.P. Senate nomination, defeating former Reagan budget director James Miller III. But the former Marine lieutenant colonel, a key Iran-contra figure, may have to face Democratic incumbent Charles Robb without total G.O.P. support. Virginia's Republican Senator John Warner had threatened to back the expected bid of former state Attorney General J.

In order to assemble the Orlando trial, Time Warner had to sign up more than half a dozen outside vendors, some of them bitter rivals.

Now they realize they will need a server twice that big. Although the prices of these components will eventually come down, right now the start-up cost...
