...bargaining with provincial premiers in Ottawa. Last week he saw that deal fall apart when the legislatures of Manitoba and Newfoundland adjourned without taking ratification votes. "Today is not the day to launch new constitutional initiatives," a somber Mulroney said afterward. "It is a time to heal wounds and reach out to fellow Canadians...
General Motors too is headed for East Germany. GM plans to build 150,000 Opels a year in the country with Automobilwerk Eisenach, its East German partner, by the mid 1990s. Industry experts say GM's total investment in the deal could reach $600 million. Yet that will represent only part of GM's foray into Eastern Europe. Among other deals, the automaker plans to produce 200,000 engines and 20,000 Opels a year in Hungary in a $150 million venture with RABA, the country's state-owned truck manufacturer...

Penrose's first major point is that the human mind can reach insights that are forever inaccessible to computers. The reason is that all digital computers operate according to algorithms, or sets of rules that prescribe how to solve problems. Yet there are problems that cannot be approached by any system of rules, a fact shown in the 1930s by the mathematician Kurt Godel. Godel's theorem establishes that in any mathematical system there must be certain propositions that are obviously true but that can never be proved within the rules of the system...
