This week's issue of Business Week (dated April 30, 1990) has a cover story on (the one, the only) Seymour Cray. Pretty interesting... it mentions the "legends" of the yacht-burning and the tunnel-digging and claims that both are exaggerations of singular incidents in Seymour's life. It also talks about the fact that he was a "nerd" in college and admits that he has a "social problem". The article is naturally gets most technical when discussing CRI's annual revenues and stock prices, but overall I'd say it's a must for those in this group. -- Steve

How about these two: John von Neumann and Alfred E. Newman, of Mad Magazine. If you don't believe it, find a copy of Neumann's Collected Papers and check out the frontispiece portrait.
