...Marvin L. Minsky, head of M.I.T.'s Artificial Intelligence Lab, said two years ago, that "machines could become nearly as intelligent as we are and then stop, or to suppose we will always be able to compete with them . . . Whether or not we could retain some sort of control of the machines, assuming that we would want to, the nature of our activities and aspirations would be changed utterly by the presence on earth of intellectually superior beings...
Computers have changed everything. They are more responsible for technological warfare than bombs and rockets. Computers control industrial processes, sometimes by making calculations and telling human operators what needs to be done, sometimes by regulating variables on production lines, and sometimes--mainly in the chemical and petroleum business--by running the routine operations of a whole plant. Computers may masquerade as tools, but they are better at cutting out machine tools than humans. They can design bridges, ships, and auto bodies...
Though the nature of the Harvard Faculty's control over these courses is unclear, a few comments can be made on curricular developments since World...
...Departments of Military Science, Naval Science, and Aerospace Studies are externally controlled departments and are not subject to regular Harvard institutional control as are regular Harvard departments.

A strange animal resulted: stylistic form is almost non-existent, the movement of the cartoon figures is executed competently but no better, editing is largely unoriginal, and Edelmann's drawings--the frame...
