		PLAUSIBLE HAIRSTYLE GENERATION:
	   THE FURTHER ADVENTURES OF EURISKO, PART I

		       Blackstone Le Mot

As AI programs have been reported more widely in the popular
media, they have been called upon to perform tasks that have
heretofore gone unnoticed by AI researchers.  Proper hair care
is one of these tasks.  In this talk I will discuss the application
of EURISKO to developing healthy hair and attractive styling.
Remarkably enough, the program itself has modified itself
to represent characteristics of the domain, by developing 
hair in its control structure and a significant bald spot
in its documentation.  But it looooks maaaahvelous!
