...Game itself.From a sports perspective, I fear that The Game is going to lose the atmosphere that makes it so great.At any institution that values its athletic tradition, the events surrounding the game are at least as important as the contest itself. Just ask fans in The Grove at Ole Miss, The Cage at Virginia Tech, or anyone within 10 miles of Bryant-Denny stadium in Alabama, and the lesson is clear: the tailgate as a social event is critical. What could possibly be better than people gathering together to celebrate how Harvard is clearly far superior to Yale...
...first tenet of engineering is, Always know what problem you're working on," Grove tells the audience. The main issue with importing 60% of our oil should be not cost or global warming, Grove says, but loss of strategic control. "The problem is wrong," he later elaborates, "so all the logic and discipline lead you in the wrong direction," namely, toward price sensitivity. Hybrid technology looks better when gas is $5 per gal. than when it is $3. But that's beside the point, says Grove. What's at stake is national security and control of our own economy...
...Grove would like to see energy yield something equivalent to Moore's law, the prediction turned reality of Intel co-founder Gordon Moore that computer-processing power would double about every two years. In the case of energy, that might mean focusing on how efficiently we produce fuel from crops like corn. "Once we drew that line and believed it," Grove says of Moore's law, "we couldn't do anything less...
During the ride to the airport, Grove plays with his camera and talks about his plans for the next few days. He'll fly to D.C. and meet with Senators, members of Congress and a former Energy Secretary to discuss his ideas. All those parties acknowledge the need for energy independence, he says, but the political untenability of the cost stops them. "We are not ready for hydrogen because of this, we are not ready for ethanol because of that," Grove says. "But what is the cost-effectiveness of something that can make you an independent country capable of making...
When midlife adults reminisce about those days, the concept of a "simpler" life often informs their musings. Will Lewis, 58, the owner of a printing business in Leawood, Kans., recalls growing up in Bible Grove, Ill., with a population of fewer than 100, and the thrill of going to the nearby big town every Saturday, where he joined the line of kids waiting to ride the bucking bronco in front of the five-and-dime. Recently Lewis bought his very own pony, Nellie, from Kiddie Rides USA, a Denver outfit that purchases old rides, refurbishes them and sells them...
