Robert Noyce: Scientist Turned Investor. Noyce is the co-inventor of the integrated circuits that form the core of all modern computers, winner of the 1979 National Medal of Science and a co-founder of two pioneering and profitable California electronics companies, Fairchild Semiconductor and Intel. Noyce, 55, also plays a less publicized role as a venture capitalist. With his success has come enormous wealth.

In daytime, when the building's population is at its peak and office machinery is working full blast, the air in the central core of the building rapidly warms up. (The human body in a 72°F room gives off 250 B.T.U.s per hour, about equal to the heat from a 75-watt light bulb.) This hot air is propelled through a labyrinth of ducts by ventilating fans. Some is mixed with cool air from...

It was de Kooning's draftsmanship that enabled him to fix his parings from other artists-from Gorky, John Graham and, above all, Picasso-to a firm core. One can cite the Picassoan acquisitions in Seated Woman, circa 1940 | (the hair from Dora Maar, the breasts and calves from Marie-Thérèse Walter), but the drawing, the rhythm, the sense of interval and structure are already de Kooning's own, and they have a strong...
