            THIRD FLOOR THEORY PLAYROOM
         Today at noon -- A Sneak Preview:

         Golem and Global's Production of

                 "THE RIGHT BITS"

This is a sneak preview of this summer's coming
blockbuster mega-hit, based on Tom Adler's book
about the early days of computer science.  From the
opening symbolic sequence in which a Turing machine
computes recursive factorial, to the climactic
scene at the Algol Conference, where the European
Delegate shouts "No! No!  I will never use a period
for a decimal point!", this film moves at N^2
speed!  You won't want to miss the suspenseful
scene in which Grace Hopper (played by Farrah
Fawcett) hunts through the dark interior of ENIAC
with a flashlight.

With David Bowie as Alan Turing and Mister T as IBM.
