...Treasure Salvors Inc., the outfit that found the hoard on the ocean bottom. Three years ago, the investors, ranging from a California brain surgeon to a Florida auto dealer, paid $20,000 for each of the 35 units in a unique tax-shelter limited partnership. The deal was the brainstorm of an ebullient New Jersey tax-shelter specialist, Jerry Burke, 50. The money entitled the investors-partners to 17.5% of anything recovered during 1980 from the Spanish galleon Santa Margarita. That ship and a sister ship, the Atocha, both carrying New World treasure to Spain, sank in a hurricane...
...most of the day Saturday, the rotunda area just outside the convention floor of the Springfield Civic Center buzzed with activity. Each presidential campaign had a trailer stationed as its convention headquarters in that area, and strategists and delegates swarmed through to browse and brainstorm before the presidential preference vote...
...eliminating much of the hand-wiring. Then came another quantum leap into the miniworld. In the late 1950s, Texas Instruments' Jack Kilby and Fairchild Semiconductor's Robert Noyce (one of eight defectors from Shockley's firm whom he scathingly called the "traitorous eight") had the same brainstorm. Almost simultaneously, they realized that any number of transistors could be etched directly on a single piece of silicon along with the connections between them. Such integrated circuits (ICs) contained entire sections of a computer, for example, a logic circuit or a memory register. The microchip was born...
...spectacle, the brainstorm of Dass M. Gass 85. was actually the first meting this year of the Harvard branch of the Society for Curative Anachronism, a national group who members aim to recreate the atone here of the middle Ages. The Society has branches across the country, including chapters at MIT. Wellesley, and Tufts...
Crotti's barnyard brainstorm has already undergone tests at a 31,500-gal. spill in the Mississippi River 20 miles downstream from New Orleans. The oil had spread over a 14-mile area, washing into coves and turning the marshy ground into a black mush the locals call "gumbo." While strings of floating booms helped contain the spill, a four-man team from Peterson Maritime Services, the largest private firm in the gulf area treating oil spills, began tossing out about 100 lumpy white squares from their flat-bottomed swamp boats. Almost at once, the muck began to stick...
