Boeing posts higher 1989 profits amid strike and 1990 sales forecast
Boeing Co reports stronger 1989 profits and sales despite a 48 day Machinists strike and weak defense performance. The company also forecasts 1990 sales rising about 35 percent to roughly 27 billion, aided by five years of record jetliner orders, though fourth quarter earnings fell 56 percent from 1988. Washington treasuries show higher short term rates with three month bills at 7.77 percent and six month bills at 7.73 percent.

Bell unveils light based computer prototype in Newark
Bell Laboratories demonstrated a crude prototype that uses light rather than electrical impulses to process data. Experts say the technology could revolutionize computing, with potential light based supercomputers operating 1,000 to 10,000 times faster within a decade, depending on further development. Leaders from Bell Labs and research groups highlight the shift from electrons to photons as the key to dramatically faster data processing.
