You ask about my name, Olafur Egilsson: Olafur is my given name, Egilsson my surname. People familiar with Icelandic culture can tell at a glance that my father’s given name is Egil—that I am "Egil’s son". Icelanders maintain the old tradition of adding "son" or "dottir"(daughter) to the father’s given name to form surnames. Hence every generation in a family has a new surname. With the trend towards equality between the sexes in every field, Icelandic law now also permits you to take your mother’s given name as the basis for your surname.

Though it now seems merely an episode in the last year of World War I, the influenza pandemic of the autumn of 1918 was one of the three greatest outbreaks of disease in history. Only the plague of Justinian and the Black Death compare with it. A quarter of the world’s population was affected; all in all, it killed 22 million people, almost twice as many as were killed in the war itself.

Video games have become increasingly popular in both arcades and the average American home. People of all ages and from all walks of life are enjoying hours of entertainment by feeding their time and quarters into these flashing, beeping machines. Many skeptics as well as prospective arcade owners have asked what it is that gives Pac Man, Centipede, and a multitude of other popular games their magnetic appeal to millions of players. As a video player myself, I believe there are many answers to that question but three are outstanding.
Before a full-scale attack is launched against young video players for "throwing away" their quarters, one should first consider the rising costs of more traditional forms of entertainment. For instance, eighteen holes of miniature golf or ten frames of bowling will cost the player at least two dollars, and one movie costs four bucks. For just two dollars, a video player can get at
