...firms that have roots tracing to Fairchild. The Wunderkind of them all is Intel Corp., founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, both from Fairchild Semiconductor. Starting with twelve workers, Intel has become the world's largest manufacturer of miracle chips, accounting for 26% of the market and employing 8,000 people in ten plants from California to Malaysia...
...newly formed Intel Corp., it was a challenging assignment. Fresh out of Stanford University, where he had been a research as sociate, M.E. ("Ted") Hoff in 1969 was placed in charge of producing a set of miniature components for programmable desk top calculators that a Japanese firm planned to market. After studying the circuitry proposed by the Japanese designers, the shy, self-effacing Hoff knew that he had a problem. As he recalls: "The calculators required a large number of chips, all of them quite expensive, and it looked, quite frankly, as if it would tax all our design capability...
...tenfold every eight years since 1946. Four generations of computer evolution-vacuum tubes, transistors, simple integrated circuits and today's miracle chips-followed one another in rapid succession, and the fifth generation, built out of such esoteric devices as bubble memories and Josephson junctions, will be on the market in the 1980s. In the 1990s, when the sixth generation appears, the compactness and reasoning power of an intelligence built out of silicon will begin to match that of the human brain...
...committee's dilemma is how to satisfy Senate forces led by Louisiana Democrats Russell Long and Bennett Johnston, who insist on a free market for natural gas, and Carter, who has repeatedly vowed to veto any bill that abruptly decontrols gas prices. The problem is complicated by another Senate bloc, this one led by Ohio Democrat Howard Metzenbaum and South Dakota's James Abourezk, both of whose states are heavily dependent on natural gas; they therefore demand that a federal lid be kept on gas prices. Democrat Henry Jackson, chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee...
Tradition, order, simple marketing methods, sales that rose reliably in good times and bad-all these were qualities of the beer business a few years ago. Now the $16-billion-a-year industry is being shaken by a costly battle for market shares that has sent some brewers to search for cash-heavy merger partners, other companies to reassess their marketing strategies, and nearly all the well-known firms to bring out new brands to curry the customers' fickle favor. Small regional brewers can scarcely keep afloat, with the result that sales are increasingly concentrated among the Big Five...
