Blue-chip corporations, which used to borrow from commercial banks, now increasingly raise money by issuing securities through investment banks. But the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933 bars commercial banks from underwriting most types of securities. That competitive inequity has led Wisconsin Democrat William Proxmire, chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, to push for a revision of Glass-Steagall that would let commercial banks into the securities business. His proposed bill appears stalled at the moment, but the eventual passage of something...

("Bunny") Lasker said just before the bull market of the mid-'70s would be true enough in the '80s: "I can feel it coming, SEC or not, a whole new round of disastrous speculation, with all the familiar stages in order -- blue-chip boom, then a fad for secondary issues, then an over-the-counter play, then another garbage market in new issues, and finally the inevitable crash...

The core of Jobs' computer is the Motorola 68030, the most advanced general- purpose microprocessor chip on the market. That device's prodigious capabilities have been further enhanced by an array of custom-made chips that are not only state of the art but also artfully laid out. Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates has described the NeXT machine as the most beautiful computer ever built...
