said Dr. Robert Schwartzman, chid
of neurology at Hahnemann
University Hospital, where the87-
year-old former president walked
in about 9 a.m. under his own
power, briefcase in hand.
A half day after he was admitted,
"1 am very happy to report that
President Ford is improving. He is
much better," the doctor said. The for
mer president is expected to remain
hospitalized for about five days.
Dr. Carole Thomas, another of the
physicians treating Ford, said the
former president "continues to have
mild problems" with walking and
slurred speech. He was being treated
with anti-clotting medication.
Ford, America's 38th president
had gone to the hospital overnight,
complaining of pain during a GOP
salute to him and other former GOP
presidents during the convention
Tuesday. He was sent home after
about a half-hour with antibiotics
and a diagnosis of a sinus infection.

also narrates the book. Daniel livesin
a group house with five other
Microsoft employees still suffering
from post-graduation, and sodal,
limbo. As the roommates live life at
Microsoft, and then life without Bill
once they move to Silicon Valley
they voice how they became misfits
and how they plan to get lives in the i
early 1990s. Coupland lets readers j
explore love, relationships and sue- I
cess against the backdrop of a quick- :
ly expanding electronic lifestyle.
Social commentary aside, the 1
book is just strange enough to be fun v
Readers get more than just a glimpse ;
into the eccentric world of nerds ?,
through "subconscious computer |
files" and strange character introduc- |
tions. For example, Abe, one of i
Daniel's roommates, is given these as |
his all-time best "Jeopardy!" cate-
gories: Intel assembly language, bulk |
shopping, C++, introversion, "I love I
my aquarium," how to have a million |
dollars and not let it affect your life in |
any way, and unclean laundry.
So, the book is quirky. However, |
bets are that if readers know whal I
C++ is or secretly consider how coolit |
would be to reprogram video games I
to make them easier to win, the book |
will allow them to experience enougl 1 |
harmless geekiness to get their ted 1 1
fix without losing all sense of pose 1
tive self-esteem. (Grade: B+)
