Computers which can hear and interpret single-word commands have been around for several years, he says, but only now are computers being adapted to comprehend continuous speech. Within the foreseeable future, therefore, computers may be able to verbally interact with humans...

...what time in the morning was it? Six or seven a.m.? What color were the vans that took the Jews away?" Other critics who find fault with such meticulousness are missing the point of Lanzmann's goal: to render real experience in all its richness--not to interpret or to impose anything else.

...through it, the crystal's atoms diffract, or scatter, the rays, producing fuzzy spots of varying intensity on film. The resulting diffraction pattern looks something like strings of beads. Although each type of crystal creates a distinctive design, the patterns are extremely intricate and were once very difficult to interpret. To get beyond the primitive and tedious practice of scrutinizing the film, Karle and Hauptman contrived a complex statistical formula that takes the position and brightness of the separate spots and "reconstructs" them into a three- dimensional picture of the crystal.
