...from Grove. He was lucky enough to escape Hungary; good enough to make it to the U.S. Lucky enough to find ccny; good enough to graduate first in his class. Lucky enough to join Intel; good enough to lead it to the top. Lucky enough to marry Eva and have two healthy daughters; good enough to raise them, dancing and smiling, into beautiful American women. That's the kind of life it's been. Andrew Steven Grove, TIME's Man of the Year 1997: lucky, good, paranoid...

Grove is not all work: he skis, bikes with his wife Eva, listens to opera. He occasionally breaks out into a wild, disjointed boogie (his kids call it groving instead of grooving and recall the time Eva snapped her ankle on their shag carpet as the two danced to the sound track of Hair). The dance step is typical: Grove is a passionate, if disjointed man. He is a famously tough manager who, late at night, can still fill Intel's offices with a rolling laugh. He is a man who lost most of his hearing when he was young...

...lemon juice added to a cup of milk, sodium soured the precious semiconductors. The discovery solved a fundamental problem in materials science and set the stage for the semiconductor revolution. Grove and his team won one of the industry's most prestigious awards for the work. At home, Eva got a hint that Andy might not be your ordinary Hungarian busboy. It was the kind of scientific triumph Grove craved--proof of the American meritocracy. At Fairchild, however, none of the suits cared...

...also in love. His wife Eva, a refugee herself, recalls their first meeting at a New Hampshire resort where they both worked in the summer of 1957--he as a busboy, she as a waitress. Eva recalls the encounter ("He had a bad accent, even though he doesn't think so!") as a lightning bolt: "I walked into this room, and there were a bunch of guys. One shook my hand, and it was, you know, like shaking a limp fish. But then there was this really good-looking guy who shook my hand, and I was just like...
