...obligatory? After reading what has been written about the Katz retrospective that opened last month at New York City's Whitney Museum of American Art, one would think so. The reviews and catalog essays thus far have favorably compared him with Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Jackson Pollock, Frederic Remington, Caspar David Friedrich, Cole Porter and Fred Astaire. "Katz's astonishing achievement," writes Curator Richard Marshall in the catalog, "is to have reconciled abstraction and realism in post-World War II America...

Five years later they developed the first commercial computer, UNIVAC 1, but business reversals forced them to sell their fledgling computer company to Remington Rand. The final insult came in 1973. Seeking to invalidate Mauchly and Eckert's patent for "the" electronic computer, Honeywell convinced a federal judge that Mauchly had based his ideas for ENIAC on the work of a computer pioneer named John Atanasoff.

"Frederic Remington and Charles Russell painted the West as it was before it went away forever," he says. "That's kind of what I'm doing. The beginning of the space program will never come again." Bean, who retired as NASA'S chief of astronaut operations and training three years ago, would...
More than anything else, it was IBM's awesome sales skills that enabled the company to capture the computer market. Although it now seems hard to believe, IBM did not introduce the first commercial computer. Remington Rand did that in 1951 with a computer called
