...Billy Potts owned a tavern in Ford's Ferry, Ky. Its floor was covered with bloodstains; outside, the grounds were filled with shallow graves. Travelers who stayed overnight could not depend on getting up again next morning. Billy's son, a chip off the old block, was caught robbing by two farmers, was forced to leave the state. Years later he returned with a hefty bankroll and a beard. He decided to surprise the folks by not letting on who he was.

Integrated Silicon. But the stuff gets even smaller. Integrated circuits that include everything, even transistors, are built into a single chip of silicon. Westinghouse starts with a sheet of silicon eight one-thousandths of an inch thick and about the diameter of a quarter. On top of this, an even thinner layer of extra-pure silicon is deposited by evaporation and covered with photosensitive masking material. The mask is removed in patterns, allowing successive parts of the silicon to be exposed to vapors, such as boron, that change its electrical properties. Some of the tiny areas become built-in transistors...

And wherever it has waged that war, in factories, in laboratories, in shops, over counters and under...
...file drawers that cost $50 a year apiece to maintain. To cut down this paper proliferation, a new kind of specialist - the corporate archivist-has turned up. Largest of these archivists is Manhattan's Leahy Archives, which maintains five storage centers throughout the U.S. and serves 400 blue-chip clients who gladly pay to have Leahy consign their unneeded records to the fire...
