4. The first story happened in 1972 and appears in Shoe Dog, the autobiography of one of Nike’s co-founders—co-written with J. R. Moehringer, who is also the ghostwriter of Prince Harry.

   The MCC was an organization formed by twenty technology companies like G.E., Microsoft, Kodak, Honeywell, with the task of making the United States a global leader in this industry. The first decision to make? Where to establish it.

   The most obvious choice was Silicon Valley. However, the project leader, Bobby Inman, decided to hold an open call: fifty-seven communities submitted offers.

   The idea was for governors, mayors, university presidents, and business leaders to make their pitch to a committee consisting of Inman and six other executives. The committee evaluated the quality of life, traffic, the flow of specialized talent, and airports, among other elements.

   Eventually, the committee narrowed down the participants to four: San Diego, Atlanta, Austin, and a region in North Carolina known as the Research Triangle.

   Inman had a preference for San Diego, where he had lived for a while, so they scheduled a meeting with their applicant, George Deukmejian, the Governor of California, and agreed to meet on the campus of the University of California there.

   But something unexpected happened: the Governor arrived twenty minutes late and merely read a document discussing the benefits of establishing the MCC in San Diego. Shortly afterward, he left, not leaving much time for discussion.
