Not that this has anything to do with Ada, but with all the talk of Grace Hopper, I thought I'd ask here. Ms. Hopper was supposed to give a talk this week (Monday the 16th) at Monmouth College and had to cancel at the last minute. I've heard two stories so far: 1) a broken hip (God, I hope not); 2) a broekn hand. Has anyone out there heard anything about her condition? I was really looking forward to hearing her speak. Thanks. Fred Seaton, Western Illinois University.
