I could have sworn that I created this article when I created an article about William Lederer in December 2004. -- Geo Swan July 9, 2005 14:12 (UTC)

[edit] You Made My Day

I read this when I was fifteen and thought that it was the single greatest work of prose ever comitted to paper. It probably influenced me to join the navy later, only to discover there was a distinct lack of humurous encounters with oriental beauties. ADB 9 July 2005 15:01 (UTC)

[edit] Map O'Toole exploits with his USNA Classmate's

• VADM David C. Richardson (1912-), Class of 1936 - Championed pre-WWMCCS Ocean Surveillance Information Systems.

The competition for information is as old as human conflict. It is virtually a defining characteristic of humanity. Nations, corporations, and individuals each seek to increase and protect their own store of information while trying to limit and penetrate the adversary's. Since around 1970, there have been extraordinary improvements in the technical means of collecting, storing, analyzing, and transmitting information.
