That was a month ago. Just today I discovered that some of my books were still boxed. So... I found the title "Computers Don't Argue" by Gordon Dickson in the September 1965 issue of Analog. That should help determine the first publication. Randy Bentson Colo State U - Comp Sci ucbvax!hplabs!csu-cs!bentson
