The great American dream: building a much better mousetrap

Article Abstract:

Richard Hlava developed Credit Prompter in response to a need he perceived for the credit industry to have a store and forward device for accessing TRW which required little user training. In 1981 the prototype for the machine was presented and found a favorable response. RJE Communications, the company he formed, has doubled their sales each year since 1981, and anticipates sales of $4 million in 1985. Downline loading is the most advanced feature, and CP 120C, their newest product, offers concurrent operation and universal format. Because of his background, Hlava places a high emphasis on customer service.

Small is beautiful

Article Abstract:

The state of Tennessee has taken positive action to limit class sizes for children aged under eight, having acknowledged that smaller classes can bring considerable benefits for younger children. This follows several years of in-depth research aimed at proving the value of smaller classes. The state government has finally been persuaded to provide the extra funding required to recruit more teachers.
