Battling both the blahs of reading period and the Huskies of Northeastern, the Harvard men's track team stymied N.U., 80-64, on Saturday at the Gordon Track Center...
Defeating Northeastern for the first time since 1993, the Harvard women's track team breezed to a 76-42 rout of N.U. at the Gordon Track Center on Saturday...
Intel, of course, has done much more than survive. Founded in the summer of 1968 by Gordon Moore (one of the great chemists of the century) and Robert Noyce (a co-inventor of the integrated circuit), it has blossomed under Grove's leadership into the world's pre-eminent microprocessor manufacturer. From a standing start in 1981, when IBM introduced the first personal computers, they have populated the planet at an astounding rate. And of the 83 million machines sold this year, nearly 90% get their kick from an Intel chip. So do antilock brakes, Internet servers, cell phones...
...answer, of course, turned out to be what gave Silicon Valley its name. Gordon Moore (who ran Fairchild's research arm and later became Grove's mentor as CEO of Intel) believed you could store those charges with an integrated circuit made by sandwiching metal oxide and silicon into an electrical circuit called an MOS transistor. Unlike trickier semiconductors, silicon is both a wonderful conductor of electrical charges and a nearly bottomless sink for heat, meaning it doesn't melt down as you push electrons under its surface at nearly light speed. Because it is made from refined sand, silicon...
...left him hearing impaired. He also shared his wit and warmth with TIME editors at dinner at his rambling ranch house. Sitting around the table was Intel's past, present and future: Grove's wife Eva, who fell in love with him when he was working as a busboy; Gordon Moore, Intel's first CEO and Grove's mentor; Arthur Rock, the venture capitalist who underwrote the company in 1968; and Craig Barrett, Intel's president, who will probably succeed Grove...
