...Paris 1-442-506 . . ." When spies have to resort to classified ads in French newspapers, times are clearly tough. Now 500 or so former Soviet intelligence agents have decided to network. Headed by onetime KGB Colonel Igor Prelin, the group has < even started its own publishing arm, called Intel. Among the projects in the works: a memoir by a KGB agent who obtained American nuclear secrets, and a book by another who had dealings with Lee Harvey Oswald prior to November...
Some industrial leaders are underwhelmed by the Administration's helping hand. "It is so little, so wimpy," complains Andrew Grove, president of the semiconductor giant Intel. The Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank, proposes that Washington create a new federal science-and-technology agency that would coordinate the government's widely scattered $76 billion annual investment in R. and D. and make industry a partner at every level. "What we have now," says Hudson fellow Robert Costello, a former Pentagon official, "is a flea going up against an elephant, but the flea is growing...
...alliance scorns another powerful company, Intel, which has supplied the microprocessors for IBM's machines and has commanded an almost monopoly position as a maker of IBM-compatible chips. Possibly to foster more competition, the new partnership says it will buy advanced processors from Illinois-based Motorola, whose chip business has been suffering lately because some of its big customers, including Unisys, have been in decline. IBM has been busy lining up other partnerships as well. Only a day after announcing its deal with Apple, IBM said it would join forces with Germany's Siemens A.G. to produce a powerful...

Semiconductor manufacturing uses loads of water, so Silicon Valley's Intel, a leading maker, is also looking into recycling methods...
Hoff still believes that his Intel group legitimately beat Hyatt to the punch. Yet some patent lawyers say Hyatt's new patent appears to apply to all microprocessor chips and the millions of personal computers and other products (from pocket calculators to videocassette recorders) that depend on them. Industry executives by and large are keeping mum, but if Hyatt's patent is broadly interpreted by courts, it could make him super-rich. According to analysts, a standard nonexclusive licensing fee of 3% of the value of computer products sold would translate into a $210 million payment just for last year...
