...often assign it to the wrong people, who frequently have no knowledge of the complexities of business to which a computer could be applied. "Almost all computers," says Albert Sperry, president of Panellit, Inc., whose business is making automation controls, "are run by the accountants," simply because the most obvious applications are for statistical jobs.

...Burma in 1955, when his neutralist friend U Nu was Premier, crowds thronged the streets of Rangoon beneath banners that proclaimed "Long Life to Great Tito!" When he arrived in Rangoon last week, after seven days at sea, the atmosphere had changed. There were no banners, and it was obvious that the new military regime of Premier General Ne Win had not asked the crowds to turn...
