Speech patterns, like other sound waves, can be charted by assigning a numerical value to each point on the wave. These numbers are then run through a computer in sequence, and the numerical input is converted into sound by electrical impulses. The tremendous increase in computer memory power during the past decade has enabled technicians to translate such variables as pitch and loudness into numerical values to reproduce a sound exactly...
...compromise position may be possible if the cusp model is replaced by a "butterfly" catastrophe allowing the input of two additional control factors. Woodcock and Davis suggest that the absorption of the Atomic Energy Commission by the Energy Research and Development Agency may permit both lobbying groups to reconcile their demands...

But the problem was that students were transients, and ultimately the power lies with those who are here forever...
