There, indeed, is a monument to the West that any sane man would like to see at the bottom of Lake Baikal.

But not until 1944 did man invent the first true computer: the Mark I, developed by Harvard...

And in Venice, where romance had always been well salted with practicality, Canaletto's lucid art bridged the opposed worlds. He stands to this day, as it was said of his city, "between the morning and the evening lands...
