...mother was cultured, his father defiantly not. Max Hart was a round (300-pound!) boisterous sort who did favors for Tammany Hall and, if he was too lazy to go to the bathroom, he'd take a whizz out the dining room window. Lorenz had Papa's appetite for excess and Mama's love of lore. He had his mother's height too: a shade under five feet. Edith Meiser, who would star in Rodgers and Hart shows, described Larry as "the American Toulouse-Lautrec ... an enchanting man. He had such appeal.... He had this enormous head and a very...
...being upstaged by the HAL like computer appearing in the first half. Not a small feat, considering the voice only appears for two minutes during one of the film's many crises. The cast spends most of the time staring into space (literally) and looking forlorn while visual effects whizz around them, but there's little pathos or sympathy involved because De Palma substitutes dramatic tension for nifty camera work.

You know, the one that smashes through the innovation barrier known as Moore's Law, the one that promises to make memory technology obsolete every nine months instead of every eighteen ? which is the technological equivalent of running a two-minute mile. But does anyone really care? "The irony of this development," says TIME computer correspondent David Jackson, "is that consumers may not want or need it. As it stands now, the hottest new market in the industry...
...have appeared on U.S. radar screens hundreds of times before? The answer seems to be simply that nobody thought it necessary to do so. The Navy is just not used to operating in the half-war, half-peace atmosphere of the gulf, where harmless passengers and deadly enemies all whizz through the same cramped airspace. The Aegis system is designed for the open seas, where Pentagon planners mistakenly thought that wars would be fought...
