...cubicles accessible to anyone bold enough to wander by for a chat. There are no special privileges. If Grove rolls in late, he has to prowl Intel's jammed lot looking for a space just like any shavetail engineer. Craig Barrett, 58, Intel's president, sometimes shows up in lizard cowboy boots, often en route to his ranch in Montana from Japan or Malaysia. They are known universally as Andy and Craig.

Jackie is a sweet-toned lyric soprano; Ari, a bass-baritone, is a smarmy lounge lizard (one of his big arias is marked in the score, "Freely sung, a la Dean Martin"). The music they sing jumps joltingly from folk rock to Motown to big-band jazz, all kaleidoscopically orchestrated for a 19-piece pit band with two percussionists. And although the tone is mostly light and lively, an unexpectedly affecting streak of melancholy surfaces whenever Jackie sings of her lost...
