Riding the fourth wave
Article Abstract:
Microcomputer-based publishing systems, what Jonathan Seybold calls the third wave, produce typography that is inferior to older systems such as Atex. PostScript imagesetters are too slow for many time-critical areas of newspaper production. Desktop publishing is driven primarily by the concept of freedom, the availability of many software applications for graphics and layout. The Fourth Wave is led by Macintosh computers due to easy installation and maintenance. The newest revolution in publishing results from mass-market computer compatibility, reasonable graphics-operating systems and PostScript printers. High-end functions may never be part of this, however, because software must have a low price and mass market appeal. Some manufacturers address this situation by offering off-the-shelf products that meet high-end needs and by building products that allow small companies to add their own functions to programs.

Eastern promise
Article Abstract:
The Asia Pacific region provides a prime area for tourist development in the 1990s due to economic growth. However, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong demonstrate different development characteristics. Haphazard tourist development in Thailand from 1987 has stimulated regulation of future enterprises. Less tourism in Malaysia has prompted the Government to promote leisure development. Limits on land have forced Singapore and Hongkong to direct tourist enterprises away from the centre. However, land reclamation will assist development.

The pilgrimage from Tiananmen Square: ten years after the uprising, three of its pivotal figures have found a new agent for change - Christianity
Article Abstract:
Three of the five leading Chinese leaders of the 1989 rebellion against the Chinese government during the famous Tiananmen Square massacre escaped to the US and created new lives for themselves. Christianity has provided a major saving grace for Yuan Zhiming and Xie Suanjun. Su Xiaokang struggled with it, but his despair over the failure of the rebellion usurped any involvement in western religion.
