Hanging Them Together

THE brainy fellows who tend giant cleo
tronic brain at Massachusetts Institute
Of Technology have been Dragging about
their computer's vocabulary It knows more
words, they say, than Winston Churchill
does. Sir Winston repeatedly has some 50-
600 words at his command; the computer's
memory banks contain 100000
No one, least of all Sir Winston need be
dismayed at this evidence of mechanical
superiority. What counts is not how many
words there are in the memory, but which
words are selected, and how they are hung
together.
Churchill, let it be remembered is the
man whose words gave heart to the British
in the darkest hours of World War II. 1t
was he who challenged his people to meet
the test of blood, sweat and tears" who
described the nations debt to gallant air
men IN that immortal statement. Never
have SO many owed so much to SO few" It
was ne who gave tongue again and again to
Tree mems defiance Of tyranny
In contest with Sir Winston, the NJ. /. T.
computer might be able to rattle off more
words than he. But when it came to finding
the right words to say the right thing at
the right time, Churchill would win hands
down. We're sure the M. T. T. brain experts
are fully aware of this essential difference
between man and computed. We ust
thought it was worth mentioning.
