...suit also cites the defendants'"...failure to inform [Ho] of Tadesse's troubles." But wouldn't that be a breach of rights? Should everyone who gets mental health counseling be branded with a scarlet letter "D" for "possibly disturbed"? The possibility of having your personal problems revealed to your peers would probably decrease the number of people who would seek counseling when they need it, for fear of becoming a pariah...

He also shared his wit and warmth with TIME editors at dinner at his rambling ranch house. Sitting around the table was Intel's past, present and future: Grove's wife Eva, who fell in love with him when he was working as a busboy; Gordon Moore, Intel's first CEO and Grove's mentor; Arthur Rock, the venture capitalist who underwrote the company in 1968; and Craig Barrett, Intel...
