...told him that he and Moore wanted to start their own semiconductor company. Fairchild, he said, was finished. Rock (who holds nearly $500 million of Intel stock today) raised the money nearly instantly. Moore told Grove of the plan one day when they were at a conference in Boulder, Colo. The decision to join his bosses was made, Grove says, "almost instantly." Someone suggested the name Integrated Electronics, which was shrunk instantly to Intel...

Earlier this month, the media coordinator for the Oklahoma City bombing trials surveyed news organizations about their interest in a JonBenet trial should an indictment of anyone ever be filed; 162 said they would attend.

...compared with that of the previous 100 years. Determining exactly which part of this unusual behavior is connected to global warming is still a scientific challenge, but that there is a connection should not be in doubt. KEVIN E.
