...your article "The Committee to Save the World" [BUSINESS, Feb. 15]: I have been wondering how Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan, Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin and Deputy Treasury Secretary Larry Summers could take steps to rescue the rest of the world, including Russia, South Korea, Brazil and Thailand, but not Indonesia.

Does this concept--a fairly rudimentary assemblage of hardware performing prodigious and multifaceted tasks according to the dictates of the instructions fed to it--sound familiar? It certainly didn't in 1937, when Turing's seminal paper, "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem," appeared in Proceedings of the London Mathematical Society.

But no one recognized that Turing's machine provided a blueprint for what would eventually become the electronic digital computer...
Shewchuk came through in crunch time again in Sunday's ECAC Tournament championship victory over the same UNH squad--a team Harvard will likely face again in the national championship game Saturday. She tied the game with 75 seconds left in regulation and fed co-captain A.J.

Ruggiero swung it back to Mleczko, who walked into the high slot and fired a hard slapshot past Cahill to complete the hat trick...
