For the TV viewer frustrated by all those arcane medical abbreviations like ER, MI, ALS, CBC, OR, EEG and EKG; the amateur sleuth who doesn't know an ADW from a CCW, or a 10-78 from 10-99; courtroom addicts who'd like to know what pleading NOLO really means; military-history buffs who can't tell a CINCPAC from a JSTAR; the novice computer owner who is venturing into the realm of NETSPEAK, CPUs and CD-ROMS; the simply curious who want to know the difference between a CAT SCAN and a CT SCAN, and what DEFIB and ATHEROSCLEROSIS mean; and everybody who's mystified by the endless stream of bureaucratic initializing that infests our world today.
