...vulnerability of all computer systems was underscored last week by separate court proceedings in California and New York. In San Jose three Silicon Valley workers were indicted for a range of computer crimes, including, for perhaps the first time, taking classified military information from Government computers. The next day a Cornell University graduate student made the first public explanation of how the rogue program he released into a research network in November 1988 managed to cripple some 6,000 university and military computers.

Winter vegetables, including celery, cauliflower, radishes and broccoli, were heavily damaged in the South. In Florida, virtually the entire $200 million vegetable harvest might be gone, and in Texas only about 20% of the crop might be salvaged...
