Dear Colleagues:

Arun-Kumar Tripathi as usual brings interesting contributions.  It occurs to
me that if a "history" computer were programmed to avoid repeating
historical errors and ignore long historical sagas not directly relevant to
historical errors, it would almost immediately exceed the abilities of many
history professors and teachers.

Yours historically,

Osher
