Leary Sees Computers Overtake Books in 1980s
Timothy Leary urged about 300 University of Iowa listeners that personal computers will rival the book in spreading knowledge and literacy. He hailed small, affordable devices, spoke of interactive software and his firm’s aim to replace books with computer programs, citing Apple as pivotal in the shift. He labeled himself a cheerleader of change and warned of a coming wave of intelligence.

Linn County LIFTS appoints new director
Al Baker, 36, named director of Linn County's LIFTS Bus System serving the elderly and disabled. He comes from Arrow Transit Associates with 14 years in transit management and six years heading Coralville’s system. Budgeting, overnight parking, and possible Sunday and night service face review, amid federal funding uncertainties. The move follows a rezoning ruling limiting overnight parking at 1201 Eighth St. NW. The 1925 New Yorker debut note appears as context.
