...MARINO (attack)--Following in the footsteps of his brother Bill, a three-time All-American, Tom is the key man on the Cornell attack. The shifty senior from Massapequa, N.J. racked up 63 points last season, second only to now-departed wunderkind Eamon McEneany...
...result, the valley is speckled with more than 40 firms that have roots tracing to Fairchild. The Wunderkind of them all is Intel Corp., founded in 1968 by Robert Noyce and Gordon Moore, both from Fairchild Semiconductor.

It is the Gamesman, Maccoby maintains, who by his natural competitiveness and daring is best suiting to run the corporate monoliths in an increasingly faster-paced, constantly changing society. Playing with both people and technology, the Gamesman combines the attributes of the other types but infuses them all with...
