In spite of having the surname Therriault, I have only high school French, but this article would have been about the right time and publication for the Weizenbaum quote. http://referentiel.nouvelobs.com/archives_pdf/OBS0995_198312...

I am not sure where the English translation would be, but being Canadian it would not surprise me if Dr. Iverson was able to translate it himself.

The English translation that Iverson mentions was in Harper's magazine. Iverson says it “was a report of an interview with Professor Weizenbaum,” so I’m not sure how complete it is.

In spite of having developed Harper’s first Android application, I no longer have a subscription to the back catalog, but perhaps I can put my library card to use!

Thanks for the link to the French article.
