Our beef is equivalent to U.S. Choice and Good. It’s naturally dry aged to increase tenderness and to give a rich “be,e-
fy” flavor. These closely trimmed steaks and roasts will give the customer a high percentage of edible portion and less
“plate waste”.

German reports: Hackers Lady
finish
tap into NASA’s compute^ tOL
FRANKFURT, West Germany
(AP) — Hackers broke into NASA’s
worldwide computer network
throughout the summer and gath
ered secret data on space shuttle
projects and rocket failures, West
German media said Tuesday.
News reports said young West
Germans gained regular access to at
least 20 computers of the U.S. space
agency and had the ability to par
alyze the entire network.
The ARD television network said
a flaw in the network’s security sys
tem allowed the hackers to enter the
network from May to September.
The NASA system connects more
than 1,600 computers worldwide
that share information on space re
search, nuclear physics and molecu
lar biology, ARD said. The network
includes U.S. atomic research facili
ties in Los Alamos, N.M.
The Hamburg-based magazine
Stern reported similar information.
“When I saw ‘Welcome to the
NASA headquarters . . . installation’
on my screen, I was a little shocked,
to say the least,” the magazine
quoted one youth as saying.
The Hamburg-based “Chaos
Computer Club" said in a statement
to news media Tuesday that the
youths turned to the club for help
when they realized the enormity of
their discovery.
The statement said the hackers
penetrated the network to show the
“unbelievable weaknesses" of the se
curity system and had no interest in
the secret data.
The reports did not say how many
hackers were involved or where they
lived.
In Washington, the National
Aeronautics and Space Administra
tion said it was preparing a
statement.
Stern said the hackers, a term
used for amateurs who gain access to
private computer systems, obtained
NASA memos to employees on daily
space shuttle program updates and
on how to deaf with the media.
The magazine, quoting one
youth’s records of computer trans
actions, said the hackers were able to
read users' electronic mail and had
the ability to paralyze the entire net
work.
In one of the most serious security
breaches, the hac l, “-5 chained
NASA information on spaa
projects, computer securin
and rocket boosters, the a
network said.
Scientists in at least t\f:
countries besides the Uniit:
are linked to the computer:!
Stern said the system is a
"Space Physics Analysis Nr
or SPAN.
In addition to the NASA a
ers, the hackers gained ac
computers at some of Euroa
sophisticated research im..
including the Europeat
Agency in Darmstadt, Vs
many; the European Nuda
search Center in Geneva.;:
European laboratory foi h
Biology in Heidelberg, Wa

ARD said the hackenjt

fjertaining to entry into tl*

U.N. chief announces
cease-fire resolution
in Iran-lraq conflict
BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) — The
United Nations’ chief ended his Per
sian Gulf peace mission Tuesday,
saying he discussed “the outline of a
plan” to implement a Security Coun
cil resolution calling for a cease-fire
in the 7-year-old Iran-lraq war.
20 resolution must be implemented
“in letter and spirit,” with an arms
embargo and other sanctions im
posed on Iran for failing to abide by
the resolution’s provisions.
But Secretary-General Javier
Perez de Cuellar gave no indication
before he flew out of Baghdad for
New York of how successful his
quest had been.
Perez de Cuellar spent two days
talking with top Iranian government
leaders in Tehran, then flew to the
Iraqi capital Sunday night for talks
with President Saddam Hussein,
Foreign Minister Tariq Aziz and
other senior Iraqis.
Tehran radio, monitored in Nic
osia, Cyprus, quoted Prime Minister
Hussein Musavi as declaring: "The
days when arms embargos and eco
nomic sanctions had any effect on
our resolve or war effort are over.”
A tacit truce in the tanker war in
the gulf held for a sixth day.
Aziz declared after Perez de Cuel
lar left that Iran “has rejected the
resolution and is playing the game of
gaining time.”
He insisted that the council’s July
A U.N. source who traveled with
Perez de Cuellar spoke to reporters
Monday night on condition he was
not named. The source said he
noted a “sense of moderation” on
the Iranian side. But Iraqi officials
and media dismissed the reported
flexibility.
Iraq says it will comply with the
resolution if Iran does. Tehran has
not given a definitive response.

nounced Tuesday it had ordered the Palestine Liber
ation Organization to close its Washington office within
30 days.
“This action is being taken to demonstrate U.S. con
cern over terrorism committed and supported by orga
nizations and individuals affiliated with the PLO,”
spokesman Charles E. Redman said.
He said the PLO could maintain its New York office,
which has “observer status” at the United Nations and
that no harm would come from allowing this branch of
the PLO to remain untouched.
Redman said the Washington office had operated as
a foreign mission and therefore could be closed despite
the First Amendment’s free-speech and free-association
guarantees.
However, the State Department official said the

DO YOU KNOW THE SCORE?
There are a lot of computer dealers all saying that they
have the best deal. So how can that be? We at Comput
ers, Etc. Have designed a little score card to help you
make an informed decision based on data analysis rather
than emotional impulse.
Along that line, we might say a few words about our
selves. We don't believe in glass and chrome shelves,
neon lights, or extensive display salons. More to the
point, we don't believe our customers should pay a
higher price for a computer in order to finance a lot of
glitz when the only purpose of it is to trigger that emo
tional impulse to separate a customer from his money.
In a way, it almost seems like tricking you into shooting
yourself.
We would rather you put your money into a computer
that works like a Ferrarri and costs like a roller skate, in
stead of the other way around.
The MB models in the table are our hot new series of Hi
Tech LoCost machines just introduced, while those with
an asterisk are historically our most popular configura
tions. But any configuration is available at the lowest
possible cost.
For example, we could catch your attention with an even
much lower price by selling a computer with only one
disk drive, but we would be doing you a disservice which
would be apparent the first time you needed to copy a
bunch of files from one disk to another. You'd have to
change diskettes at least twice for each file, maybe more
than twice, depending on file length. So if you do want
only one drive, please look out for developing a case of
diskette elbow.
Or, maybe we should quote a vastly lower price by not
including a monitor, as if you don't care that you can't
see what you're doing.
Or, maybe we could cut back on the memory with only
256KB RAM instead of 640KB or 1MB (1024KB), if you
write programs with only about five or six instructions.
Or, we could go with an underrated power supply in
stead of our fully adequate 180 Watt units, if you enjoy
the aroma of electrical devices sizzling.
Maybe we could just let you think you're getting more
than you really are, by the all too common practice of
representing our B-bit processors as being 16-bits.
