"The Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York, to commemorate the end of
its 150th year, turns over the insurance policies and, on microfilm, the
related files of a dozen historic figures to libraries and archives across
the United States." Famous policy holders include: Ignance Paderewski,
Will Rogers, Enrico Caruso, Mary Pickford, Charles Ives, FDR, Warren
Harding, Thomas Edison, William Howard Taft, Huey Long and
aviation pioneer Alexander de Seversky. (p. 11)

A RISE IN INTERNET BREAK-INS SETS OFF A SECURITY ALARM
by Peter H. Lewis
"...security experts have issued a warning that unknown assailants
have been breaking into scores of government, corporate and university
computers connected to the global Internet communications network...
the University of Texas and Rice University were among the organizations
that identified themselves as having found evidence of the intruders."
(pp. 37, 48)
 
A CHARLES KURALT VISIT TURNS INTO 15 YEARS by Bill Carter
"...people have been watching his 'Sunday Morning' on CBS in
respectable numbers for 15 years, and nothing has distinguished
this program as much as its coverage of subjects like music,
painting, sculpture and architecture." (p. 49)
 
That's all.
