Note

The source of CARH's comment that “inside every large program there is a small program trying to get out”. There were only three Westerners present (Hoare‚ Manacher‚ Randall); the official language was English‚ but the audience was all Poles and Russians. One Russian had an inexhaustible fund of dirty jokes—and so did Randell. CARH translated; the second edition of the nineteenth−century Dahl dictionary had all the dirty words in‚ with illustrative phrases.
