...curious world was given a peek at some of the evidence that his enemies claim to have against Abbas. On Wednesday evening, Ehud Barak, chief of Israel's military intelligence department, appeared on television. He played a tape recording in Arabic of the radio conversations that served to back the American and Israeli claim that Abbas was involved in the hijacking.

It also burns nearly all of the remaining wastes in a huge incinerator at Cottage Grove, Minn.

For example, the American firm Ampex in 1956 introduced video tape recorders for use in the television industry. But Japanese firms recognized the potential for home VCRs, and today they virtually control a worldwide $10 billion market.
