<B>Editor's Note: </B>A reader recently complained that we publish too many obituaries and remembrances on this website. "I don't need to be reminded of my own mortality and depressed at the same time by reading all these death notices," he wrote. "I'm a baby boomer and I don't want to read about baby boomers&mdash;not their work, [not] their deaths."

Back Issue Review of Nautilus Direct to Disc of Randy Sharp

I am developing a website that will be a tribute to the first direct to disc recording by Nautilus Recordings "Randy Sharp - The First In Line" This record was released in the 1976-1977 time frame. It is highly likely that Stereophile reviewed this recording being that it was Direct-to-Disc.

I am in search of a copy of that review and am hopeful that someone that has a collection of back issues will be of assistance.

I will also be seeking permission from Stereophile to publish that review on my non-commercial website.

Credit will certainly be acknowledged!

Alan Turing

Alan Turing

A good read from <I>The New Yorker</I>. I saw a special on the Enigma Project once and they interviewed a woman who had worked with Turing at Bletchley Park. She basically said that everybody at BP was phenomenally bright, but that Turing was a genius and that the difference between being intelligent and being a genius was the difference between going from A to G and from A to Zed. Genius didn't need the intermediate steps that even the very brightest of us require.
