Thanks for that last link, Kaz. I hadn't seen it before.
It's a wonderful "Gonzo" style report by Steven K Roberts (SKR!), with photos, of a groundbreaking AI conference and soon after, the first Lisp conference (20+ years after it's creation) -- both at Stanford.
I remember Hofstadter referencing this conference at the AI symposium he hosted and I attended at Stanford in 2000 (another 20 years later). Nice to see this.
