Engineering's highest honor was awarded Tuesday to the team that  
created the modern computerized office three decades ago.

Four engineers who worked at the Xerox Corp.'s Palo Alto (Calif.)  
Research Center in the early 1970s — Robert Taylor, Alan Kay, Butler  
Lampson and Charles Thacker — split the $500,000 Draper prize awarded  
annually by the National Academy of Engineering.
