...time being let us be guided by the facts, which evidence that chauvinistic, expansionist psychosis generated by Maoism has not yet died down in Peking. The Chinese leadership continues in touch with the imperialist circles of the United States, Japan and a number of other states to spin a web of intrigues against the socialist community, against the progressive, revolutionary liberation forces. What is more, China definitely expects assistance from the West in modernizing its armed forces...
...deception by the two men showed how vulnerable the financial system is to artful chicanery. Drysdale Government Securities, officially started in February 1982, was a spin-off of Drysdale Securities, a 92-year-old Wall Street brokerage house. It was created solely to deal in such U.S. Government securities as bonds, notes and bills, currently a $1 trillion market. Using only 20 or 30 traders who operated out of a fifth-floor room above a Wall Street-area clothing shop, Drysdale quickly managed to amass a $4 billion-plus portfolio of borrowed U.S. Treasury securities...
...past three years because of a minor electrical problem. Flying to the satellite with his manned maneuvering unit (MMU), an astronaut will attach himself to the ailing bird. Then he will use the force of the MMU'S jets to arrest the satellite's slow spin so that it can be grappled aboard the shuttle by the remote-controlled arm. The satellite will be overhauled inside the shuttle's cargo bay. If this first aid succeeds, Solar Max will go back out on orbital patrol and provide convincing evidence of a favorite NASA theme: that humans will...
...their second space walks two days later, the astronauts were scheduled to enact a dry run of one key part of April's mission: halting Solar Max's spin. But the gremlins that had been so disastrous earlier in the flight struck once more. The astronauts discovered that the shuttle's trusty triple-jointed arm had mysteriously developed a machine's equivalent of arthritis. It could not adequately move its "wrist." The problem effectively scuttled the plan to lift SPAS out of the cargo bay and rotate it slowly in space...
Sculley's most important task was to untangle Apple's line of computers. He compressed development timetables for the production of cheaper and more expensive spin-offs of the Apple He computer. He has also pushed work on a series of Lisa products and has tried to make them compatible with Mac. The new Lisas, which range in price from $3,495 to $5,495, will run programs written for Mac. The pace has taken its toll. Complains one Apple staffer: "People are working their buns off. It's difficult to see straight...
