Abstract
On an overcast Sunday in January, a group of Fairchild employees took the Clipper, a 40-foot racing sloop, for an outing in San Francisco Bay. Silver-haired Howard Sachs, vice president and general manager of the Fairchild Advanced Processor Division, sat at the tiller and gave the orders. After all, it was his boat.
