With this kind of wiring, Ressler says, it was easier to incorporate Continental's "personalizing" features. With a turn of the ignition key, 24 different features-from seat and steering-wheel positions to interior temperature to choice of CDs-automatically adjust themselves to a motorist's preferences. The driver can even adjust ride suspension (firm, normal, plush) and steering effort (low, normal, high...
...more remarkable developments in sensor technology is the Automotive Stability Management System under development by ITT and already proved on frozen test tracks in Sweden and on the upper peninsula of Michigan. Using a coordinating system of seven sensors that detect the sideways momentum, steering-wheel position and cornering rate of the car along with the rotation of each of its wheels, the asms overcomes any driver error and makes skidding virtually impossible even on ice covered lightly by snow. "With this system," says ITT's Tom Mathues, "you can floor the throttle and still get around a cone obstacle...
...make good programs and promote them properly, people will beat your door down." But executives for the other networks downplay any threat posed by the Warner and Paramount ventures, describing them not as networks but as enhanced versions of the syndication outfits that distribute shows like Oprah, Wheel of Fortune and Baywatch to local stations.

Pointing a remote control toward a video screen on the garage wall, he flips through eight channels, each offering a different camera view of the outside grounds. As the garage's metal door slides open, he tucks a bulletproof vest between his body and the truck window and steps on the gas. "Once I start moving...
When Henrickson took part in his first alleged cash delivery for Clinton in the early 1980s, the captain at the wheel of the Citation II aircraft was Haskell Blake, Henrickson says. "((Blake)) showed me the envelope outside the airplane," maintains Henrickson. "We held it up to the light." But Blake, now an Indianapolis-based pilot, recalls nothing of the sort; "I like Joe, but I don't know where he came up with that," says...
