NEWS FLASH Approx. 50 of the defense departments computer engineers at the Pentagon have finally succeeded in breaking into the Vic 20 of Joey Miller, age 12, who lives in Riverside Calif. A spokesman for Mr. Miller said that minimal damage was inflicted on the files, however, copy protection algorythms showed an unsuccessful attempt at stealing two programs of his best games, Missile Command, and Global Thermonuclear War. Just how this breach of security was attained is still under investigation. ==================================================================
