...achieve this feat, Chemists Arieh Aviram of IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center and Mark A. Ratner of New York University propose making use of a well-known characteristic of the molecule: the higher the "binding energy" that holds it together, the less likely it is to lose electrons. The chemists recently told the American Physical Society that two or more small molecules with a large enough difference in binding energies might be combined into one large molecule that could perform electronic functions...
Achieving the precise spacing between donor and acceptor points to avoid the molecular version of a short circuit may be difficult, Aviram and Ratner admit. But, adds IBM Physicist Philip Seiden, chemists are already skilled at manipulating molecular structure and might be able to build molecular devices that will some day perform all the chores of today's tiny chips...
However, the committee rejected a resolution calling on IBM to establish a review committee on its operations in South Africa, saying that the review committee is unnecessary because "IBM's South African operations are receiving attention at top management levels...
...resolutions calling for disclosure of corporate equal employment figures got the ACSR's unanimous rejection. The ACSR said that both IBM and Ford Motor Company already disclose enough information in their annual reports to make more mandatory disclosure unnecessary...
Russell, for example, gets off easy. Cogan tips the narcs, who bust him for deal ing. For Amato and Frankie, Cogan sub contracts a well-known torpedo. When the torpedo proves unreliable, Cogan "does a double" that compares to most literary killings as an IBM 360 compares to chicken tracks...
