The grand foyer of Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., is a vast space. Climbing to three stories and spanning the width of the building, the room would be an ideal place to honor the alumni and accomplishments of an august institution that has produced 11 Nobel Laureates and some of humanity's greatest scientific discoveries. But in the 50 paces between the front doors and the reception desk, the floor and walls are bare, save for two statues flanking the entrance. The first is a bust of Alexander Graham Bell. The second is a bronze statue of a dapper yet serious man, brow furrowed and head bowed in contemplation. The man is Claude Shannon.
