...Leadership: "I've watched her with her people, and she puts them out of their comfort zone. She's not an easy person to work for if you don't want to be pushed." Yet "she never misses an opportunity to give the credit to someone else," says Claudia Estrin, a colleague of Potter's since...
Central Vermont is enjoying the precise mid-stage of mud season. In Montpelier, the nation's smallest state capital, Nona Estrin says, "We've finished watching the snow melt, and we are about to begin watching the mud dry. Both are bona fide full-time activities. You may have a full-time job, but watching spring come is the romance in your life." An administrator with the state senior citizens program, she has been up since 5 a.m.: "I don't want to miss a moment, there is so much going on at this time of year...
U.C.L.A. Professor of Computer Science Gerald Estrin, who helped to develop the computer at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton in the 1940s, says: "The computers provide an intensely visual, multisensory learning experience that can take a youngster in a matter of a few months to a level he might never reach without it, and certainly would not reach in less than many, many years of study by conventional methods."

Computers seem efficient, but are they really? To show just how well the electronic brains really work, U.C.L.A. Engineering Professor Gerald Estrin and a colleague, Dr. Bertram Bussell, have set up Project SEE (for Systems Efficiency Expert) and contracted with the Defense Department to monitor a 19-unit, nationwide computer network. Spying for SEE will be a $500,000 Sigma 7 computer, which will examine such computer problems as: how well computers translate instructions into their own language, how organized they are in storing similar bits of information close to one another, how often they unnecessarily repeat themselves in solving...
