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.
