Shakespeare Goes Computer Edge at Fairfield University
Fairfield University associate English professor Donald D. Lynch has created The Shakespeare Library, a colorful computer program that catalogues and analyzes Shakespeare plays. It sorts plots and characters, runs tests from a 200-entry question bank, and features elaborate graphics. Lynch aims to copyright and sell the tool for widespread classroom use. A Chicago group is also pursuing a Shakespeare Data Bank to store tens of thousands of pages of scholarship and the plays themselves.

Town Photo Spurs Jobs Drive in Vandalia Illinois
In Vandalia Illinois a 7000 person crowd joined a April 1985 photo event to spur job growth. The town says the publicity attracted federal funds for a 75 million sewer project and drew four companies, including a metal plant and auto parts maker, considering sites with 50 to 100 jobs each. Public interest could yield more plant openings in coming months.
