3.We actively sought input from Phillips Brooks House Association (PBHA) leadership in developing the poster. Before proceeding with this project, we consulted several PBHA Steering Committee members, including one of the directors of the Hunger Action Committee. Through him, we got a student to work with us, one who had a lot of volunteer experience with hunger and homeless programs. Her input helped to guide the project; and her research helped us to develop the list of services included on the poster...
...revolutionary approach to the usual research-develop-and-produce syndrome has been advocated by Aspin and backed by several experts outside the Pentagon. It is called "develop -- but wait." Perform the R. and D., in short, but go to production only if the imagined threat clearly emerges and if the cost is manageable. A more idealistic version advocated by Seth Bonder, president of a Michigan think tank called Vector Research, would encourage the Pentagon to invest in R. and D. but actually build new weapons only if they would correct an impending imbalance with the Soviet Union; it should pass...
Miller's switches became the building blocks for Huang's optical processor, which took five years to develop. His team finished construction around Christmas but did not get the machine to work until last month. The device is far cruder than even the most basic computers: it has no permanent memory, and the only function it can perform is counting simple numbers. Just a small fraction of the thousands of switches are connected. Nonetheless, Huang insists, the machine proves that his principle works. He thinks computer makers will soon replace wiring inside their machines with optical circuits...

Now, hungry for foreign currency to help rebuild its war-ravaged economy, Iran aims to develop a tourism industry. This year the country hopes to welcome 300,000 visitors who will bring in more than $200 million...
Some Japanese companies, meanwhile, are trying to get the inside track on international missions that have not even been scheduled yet. Shimizu, a construction firm, has opened a space-projects section to develop ideas for a moon base, either Japanese or American. The company has already begun work on how concrete made from lunar soil could be used to form large structures. Ohbayashi, also in the construction business, will join American companies in building a $100 million facility for lunar-base research in Florida...
