Design for a Room Temperature Superconductor
  The vision of ``room temperature superconductivity'' has appeared intermittently but prominently in the literature since 1964, when W. A. Little and V. L. Ginzburg began working on the `problem of high temperature superconductivity' around the same time. Since that time the prospects for room temperature superconductivity have varied from gloom (around 1980) to glee (the years immediately after the discovery of HTS), to wait-and-see (the current feeling). Recent discoveries have clarified old issues, making it possible to construct the blueprint for a viable room temperature superconductor.
