...Palo Alto Programmer Hugh Jeffrey Ward learned, from customers of a computer firm in Oakland, code numbers that enabled him to give orders to the firm's computer. Ward claims that, on instructions from his superiors, he told the Oakland computer to print out a program for plotting complex aerospace data in graph form. His company presumably planned to market the program, which was valued at $12,000 or more, to the Oakland firm's own customers.

Martino's use of the lowest alto range in "God hath two wings" was clever: effective not for the low notes but for severely limiting the range for the entire length of the stanza. Martino over-used violent marcato attacks, lending a cheap theatricality quite out of character with the over all tone...
