...colleagues he discovered in the company cafeteria--Bruce Deal and Edward Snow--then set out to make silicon usable. After months of work, they discovered that most of the MOS instability was traceable to an impurity--sodium--introduced when the chips were cured. Like a drop of 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...

Then the folk-rock mystery rebel of the '70s, releasing insurgent basement tapes, performing benefits for Rubin ("Hurricane") Carter (a convicted murderer whose guilt he questioned...
