The 1,850-ft., four-lane Ambassador Bridge linking Detroit with Windsor, Ont., which seemed spacious when it opened in 1929, suffers daily backups, pinching the flow of trade between the U.S. and Canada.

Although barely off the production lines, the resulting computers, called neural networks, have already started altering the way people think about artificial intelligence. Researchers at Ford Motor, for example, are exploring the possibility of using neural-network computers to find and fix potential problems in new autos. The U.S. Government last year invested $40 million in neural-network research, according to market analysts.

Better yet, he has found a number of points of weakness on the Republican side, and at each point of attack, he has a solution of his own to offer.
