...downtown Austin, the ninth floor of a new federal office-building complex is listed only as "Secret Service," but in fact it includes a luxurious suite of offices for L.B.J., a staff and about a dozen Secret Service agents still assigned to the ex-President. One uniformed agent sits in the lobby with an eleven-button telephone; no one gets past him without an appointment.

Therein lies the secret of their usefulness. Because their presence or absence at specific points in the wafer can be precisely controlled and electronically detected, bubbles can be used to carry coded messages in the on-off binary language of the computer, store reams of data and perform myriad mathematical calculations. Moreover, controlling the position of the bubbles is relatively simple. One method is to send small electric currents through tiny circuits printed on the surface of the crystalline wafer; the currents generate magnetic fields that cause bubbles to form at predetermined locations in the wafer. Currents passed through different...

Palatial Style. The secret of managing such an empire, as Barron tells it, "is being on the scene at the proper time." In keeping with that philosophy, Barron jumps into his private jet or his 200-m.p.h. helicopter as readily as most businessmen leap into taxis. Frequently, he manages to visit as many as half a dozen Hilton hotels in a single day. A black Rolls-Royce convertible whisks him from his Beverly Hills headquarters to his palatial home in Holmby Hills, where he, his wife Marilyn and their eight children enjoy a swimming pool, tennis court, putting green, sauna...
