<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt">PS</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> Many of these lectures were also summarized in Nick Metropolis’ book on the conference:
</span><i><span style="font-size:14.0pt">A History of Computing in the Twentieth Century</span></i><span style="font-size:14.0pt"> (N. Metropolis, J. Howlett and G. C. Rota, Eds.), Academic Press, New York, 1980.
</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt">However, several of the CHM lectures are not included in this book.</span><span style="font-size:14.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
