There have been several requests (but no answers) for references
on object-oriented programming in Prolog. Here are a few I've seen:
[1] C. Zaniolo.
Object-oriented programming in Prolog.

265-270. IEEE, February, 1984.
[2] E.P. Stabler, Jr.

AI Expert (appeared in late 1986 or 1987).

A number of articles deal also with object-oriented programming and
concurrent logic languages (primarily Concurrent Prolog and Parlog):

New Generation Computing 1(1), 1983.
[2] Kahn, Tribble et al., Objects in Concurrent Logic Programming Languages,
OOPSLA '86, SIGPLAN Notices 21(11), 1986.

The `Greek Accent', a magazine written in english for greek-americans
did a poll among its readers on how favourable they were towards Dukakis
with the following results:
Favourable : 60%
Don't Know : 21%
Against : 19%
As you can see those who are more active greek-americans (I deduce
this from the fact that they are subscribers to the greek-american
magazine) hardly support Dukakis more than the general populationd does
(correct me if I'm wrong but I think this is 55%).
As you mention supporting Dukakis solely because he is greek is a
bad thing and I think so too ('cause what if he proves a bad president,
then it's our shame also). It is more of quriuosity initially that greeks
go to see the first candidate of greek origin for the presidency.
Are we alone in believing that he would make a damn good president after
listening to him?
I had the opportunity to be in a ceremony in NYU in which both Dukakis
and the foreign minister Mr Schultz were present and gave speeches,
more than a year ago (actually 29 March 1987). The whole University
Senate was attending (hardly any greeks) and they were those who
did not stop clasping their hands after we did when Dukakis finished
his talk. Dukakis was mostly uknown back then.
My conclusion is that it is not only luck that brought Dukakis so
close to the presidency and not only blood that makes greeks support him.
Otherwise greeks would be very stupid indeed, wouldn't they?
