Yesterday's Answer, Today's Question

Yesterday's Answer:

Thomas Paine was the source for the quotation "The world is my country, and all mankind are my brethren."

Today's Question:

What is the Clipper Chip, and why was it such a hot issue?

I do not know this answer. If I were to take a wild guess I would say it was a controversy regarding Joe Di Maggio (The Yankee Clipper) and since it was a "hot" issue I'd guess it regarded the way he hit a ball during the World Series. This is purely guesswork.
