Lewis made significant contributions in the realms of symbolic logic and ethics, but his major importance continues to stem from his work in the theory of knowledge. He referred to himself as a "pragmatic conceptualist," and had much in common with Dewey.

On the other hand, Thompson Ramo Wooldridge has the biggest industrial process-control operation in the U.S., supplies devices to such firms as U.S. Steel (to control oxygen furnaces) and Riverside Cement (to regulate cement blending).

California lacks the coal and natural gas with which to produce inexpensive electricity, and Gerdes must thus develop P.G. & E.'s nuclear capability or face the possibility that the company in a few years may be unable to meet the state's growing electrical demands. It might then be forced to raise prices-now below the national average-in order to build more conventional power plants. President Gerdes...
