...future" packed with such safety innovations as a padded dashboard, disk brakes and safety glass--a car so far ahead of its time that only 51 were ever produced. In fact, the annals of high-tech history contain remarkably few cases in which the most innovative technology has emerged triumphant in the marketplace...

In the fullness of the American dream, Grove became one of the founders of Intel (he's now chairman of the company, the world's largest maker of semiconductors), a pioneer of the information revolution and in 1997 TIME's Man of the Year...
