November 11, 1958
That fall of 1958, gas ran $0.31 a gallon and Eisenhower was in the White House — the United States was pressing the Soviet Union to return to talks over Germany and the broader tensions dividing East from West. On movie screens, "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" was drawing big crowds, and on the bestseller lists, Boris Pasternak's "Doctor Zhivago" was the novel Americans were reading that season. The New York Yankees took the World Series over the Milwaukee Braves, and on September 12, Texas Instruments engineer Jack Kilby invented the first integrated circuit, a development that would quietly reshape every corner of modern life.
