Waldemar Horwat, a 16 year old Hoffman Estates High School senior, learned calculus within a year after immigrating from Poland in 1979. He skipped seventh grade, earned strong English, and now designs his own math curriculum. He plans MIT on a merit scholarship and will compete in Helsinki for the International Mathematical Olympiad. He recently became a U S citizen and works as a computer programmer at a Buffalo Grove software firm.

Anne Morrow Lindbergh, at 78, notes she was the first licensed woman glider pilot but distances her role from high profile feats like Sally Ride. The piece contrasts her navigation and copilot work with broader pioneering claims and mentions a separate legal action where Roy Orbison faces about $157,000 in fees from a Nashville law firm tied to his suit against a music publisher.
