Electric cars glide onto horizon
Article Abstract:
The future for electric cars in the US had recently started to look bleak, with regulators in California going back on plans to ensure that a certain percentage of the cars made available in the state by large concerns are battery-powered. However, this situation could change with the development by General Motors of the EV1, which is set to be the first commercially available car designed from scratch to be electric-powered. The company is now ready to begin production, and will make the car available in Arizona and California in 1996.

Hollywood stole my life
Article Abstract:
Mark Dunn, a researcher in the rare books department of the New York Public Library, believes that Paramount Pictures borrowed heavily from the whole of a play he wrote in 1992 for the film 'The Truman Show.' His experiences have made him feel that nobody is safe from being taken advantage of. He points out that Scott Rudin, the film's producer, had many opportunities to see or hear or read about his play, 'Frank's Life,' when it ran for three months in an off-Broadway production in 1992 and received some positive reviews.
