Artistic Huncher. Many mathematicians and computer designers agree with Williams, though seldom in as colorful words. But experts on the human brain tend to doubt that machines will ever match it in creative thought, its highest attribute. Says Neurophysiologist Gerhard Werner of Cornell Medical College: "When you talk about deductive reasoning (making judgments on the basis of given facts), I agree that the computers will undoubtedly be faster than a human brain, more efficient, and come up with the right answers. But in the field of inductive reasoning, I do not think machines will ever compete. When scientists formulate their...
...lacking the "special soul and the kind of conviction that passes across the footlights." Whatever its appeal, accompanying has attracted first-rate pianists, among them the U.S.'s Paul Ulanowsky and Franz Rupp, England's Geoffrey Parsons and Martin Isepp, Germany's Hertha Klust and Gerhard Weissenborn, Italy's Antonio Beltrami...

Last week crewcut, ruggedly handsome "Soapy" Williams, 49, wearing his original 1948 green polka-dot bow tie, got on a statewide TV network to announce that he would not run for a seventh term...
...when Regler was released in 1940, he was proud of a graduation gift from the "bums"; it was a certificate: "By your departure, the camp is impoverished, but liberty is enriched." In the camp, too, he had heard Communist Gerhard Eisler presiding in a latrine over a party kangaroo court-an experience that afflicted him with further doubts, and diarrhea...
