Lundberg is a rarity: an American in Poland with no Polish roots. A graduate of Wharton and a native of Lexington, Mass., she moved to the country in 1991, not for any sentimental reasons but to become the local head of the Polish-American Enterprise Fund, a U.S. government-backed effort to spawn new businesses in the post-communist nation. "I didn't necessarily make a decision to leave the U.S.," she says, but "I felt that the potential was here [in Poland]." "She's very post-1989," says Ambassador Fried. "There's no sentiment or ethnic ties...
...statewide boycott of next year's exam. "When parents start to realize their [child's] going to take a test and may not get a high school diploma, more and more people will start raising their voices," predicts Jim Bougas, a middle school history teacher from Cape Cod, Mass., who was suspended twice for boycotting the state exam. Back in Boston, the protesting students are amplifying their rebel yell. Their summer plans include gathering signatures on petitions, lobbying state politicians and taking a few more treks up the Freedom Trail. Maybe by that time, Cellucci will have loosened...
Make no mistake: the man has skills: cross-court passes out of double-teams, spin moves around opposing centers that leave them rooted like 1,000-year-old sequoias.

But there's an even better solution--particularly if the afflicted traveler is a child, whose smaller body mass can make the loss of fluids caused by diarrhea especially dangerous. "Oral-rehydration salts are specifically designed to replenish what you've lost," says Dr. Edward Ryan, a tropical-disease expert at Massachusetts General Hospital who co-wrote the article in last week's Journal. "They've saved countless lives." The two main U.S. suppliers are Cera Products (888-237-2598) and Jianas Bros...
...MOLECULAR AND DOT COMPUTERS Other exotic designs include the molecular computer and the quantum dot computer (which replace the silicon transistor with a single molecule and a single electron, respectively). But these approaches face formidable technical problems, such as mass-producing atomic wires and insulators. No viable prototypes yet exist...
