Computers can do just about everything but leap tall buildings at a single bound, and someday they will be able to do that too. One long-range goal of the technicians in the Artificial Intelligence Lab is to build an "intelligent automaton" that could substitute for men on a Mars expedition. Carrying enough fuel to get to Mars and back seems impossible, so robots will have to go, explore, report back to earth and stay there (safely out of harm's way?). And since there would be a four-minute or worse radio time lag between here and there, communication...

They insisted even after Nixon's narrow electoral escape that if they had to do it again, they would change nothing-including the surely damaging decision not to debate...
