...protons, they could not be forged in any existing accelerator. While physicists in the U.S. and elsewhere began designing new machines, Rubbia, who divides his time between Harvard and CERN, the French acronym for the Geneva-based European Organization for Nuclear Research, decided that there must be an easier, cheaper way. He persuaded CERN to let him modify its major accelerator, the Super Proton Synchrotron, to achieve higher energies. Instead of sending nuclear bullets, protons, barreling into a fixed target, the four-mile circular atomic race track was redesigned so that two sets of bullets-protons and their antimatter opposites...

...more powerful than the eight-bit chip in its predecessor, the Apple II; and an ultrasharp video display that can show twice as much detail as a standard computer screen. But the key breakthrough is embodied in Lisa's software, the computer codes that make the machine much easier to operate than any other desktop computer. The operator simply takes the mouse in hand, and a little black arrow springs to life on the screen. That arrow can then be directed toward the postage stamp-size pictures lining the bottom of the screen. These are Lisa's "icons...
