...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." So a machine for solving problems too complex for the human brain should contain a mechanism that presents for consideration all the possible solutions.

One of the two women, however, clearly belongs there from the very beginning. As portrayed by Charlotte Clark, her personality appears to contain only venom, with lesbianism as the motive force of her poison. Miss Clark does not always convey the viciousness of her character, but at its best her performance is a fascinating thing to watch...
