...1011b lecture to a question about Pat Buchanan: "Students of this university and this class will be those who benefit most from the drastic changes in our economy. The demand for lowly-skilled workers and their standard of living have decreased sharply. On the other hand, the need for smart and highly-qualified people has risen dramatically, and their incomes have adjusted accordingly...
...pretty. If you think it's the smell of the bodies at the crime scene that makes Marge puke, you're wrong. It's morning sickness. Marge may look as innocent as the child inside her and she probably is. But she's also tough and smart. She's a pregnant version of Philip Marlowe but with more charisma.

Yet Pitino too has his detractors, who say his reputation is does not measure up to the reality...
...interest in all kinds of "intelligent" machinery--not just chess-playing supercomputers or grandiose AI research projects like CYC and Cog. The past few years have seen a burst of entrepreneurial activity in what are called intelligent agents--programs of rather more modest IQ that are nonetheless smart enough to be released on the Internet to do small, useful chores like tracking stock prices or digging for nuggets of research data...
