...Seriously, Jean, I just couldn't get you off my mind. I kept thinking about that afternoon last week, when we just walked around Cambridge, looking into store windows and fooling around in the Yard, and generally having a good time. That was fun, wasn't it?" (That, for the most part, was garbage; he had been dreaming all week about her body and how nice it would be to get into...
Gordon Metcalf of Sears, Roebuck complains that retail-sales figures, which store chains use to plan inventories and sales-promotion policies, are especially slippery. "For instance," he says, "on April 11, retail sales for March were announced as $29.58 billion, a record and a substantial increase over February.

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...
