...Automata Studies, Dr. Ashby explains how an intelligence amplifier might be constructed. "It has often been remarked," he says, "that any random sequence, if long enough, will contain all the answers."

The machine's job will be to select the right one when it comes along...
...Cleveland of the Hamilton County, Ohio coroner's office. Old methods relied on stage of rigor mortis, state of putrefaction, and rectal temperature changes in the corpse. The Cincinnati doctors told the American Association of Pathologists and Bacteriologists last week that a thin thermometer inserted into the brain will produce a series of constant readings for 24 hours following death, since heat loss in brain tissue occurs according to a predictable formula...

In 1952 he joined Stevenson's "brain trust" and helped write speeches for the candidate.
