...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...
...double album, the sum of Vaughan’s first Montreux performance and his triumphant return in 1985, represents the first comprehensive collection of those celebrated live performances. Needless to say, the compilation is simply glorious.

In New York City, he Americanized his name to Andrew S. Grove--Andy Grove. This immigrant's story has a gaudily triumphant sequel. 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...
