  CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Nicholas III
Nicholas took possession of the province through his nephew, Latino, whom he had shortly before (12 March, 1278) raised to the cardinalate.

Candidly citing marital difficulties, Nicholas said he needed to take time off to mend fences with the family he hardly saw while he was building Irvine, Calif.-based Broadcom (nasdaq: BRCM - news - people) into a $1.1 billion company.
Putting it in engineering terms, Nicholas figures he's got a "50% to zero" chance of mending fences with his wife, a talented engineer herself who designed the components in some of Broadcom's chips, compared with "odds of zero success" had he kept up his punishing work schedule.
Much of that strategic direction was provided by Nicholas, while the soft-spoken Samueli quietly toiled in the background providing the technological solutions to make Nicholas' visions come true (Samueli remains as co-chairman, chief technical officer and vice president of research and development).

Nicholas is very specific about which humanitarian cause he’d like to see riding the business model: he’d like to break down the traditional barriers to universal-quality education, which he says basically boil down to the economic law of supply and demand, although they are often compounded by elitism, too.
Nicholas got a job at the El Segundo offices of satellite maker TRW Inc. That’s where he met the two most-important electrical engineers in his life—a woman named Stacey, who became his wife in 1987, and a man named Henry Samueli, who became his partner at Broadcom in 1991.
