Chui hoped that that would be the last of it. It was not. After the weekend he discovered that someone had made contact with the computer through a telephone hookup and introduced a new program: whenever a legitimate user typed in his password, the code name was immediately sent to the intruder. "It was panic," says Dr. Radhe Mohan, director of the computer service. "Someone was up to big mischief that could have conceivably caused harm...

"People want to talk back to their television sets," says the Source's Mike Rawl. DeGuere has already used his hookup for electronic feedback on Hill Street Blues and his own detective adventure, Simon & Simon, and got hundreds of responses. He is now working on further technical refinements. If the service catches on, it might, among other things, give the industry a much broader and more detailed sampling for ratings. Is anyone...
