In London, my associates and I planned two great expeditions--that to invade the Mediterranean and later that to cross the Channel.

I'm not against machines, as are some people who feel that the computer is leading us back into the jungle...I'm against machines only when the convenience they afford to some people is regarded as more important than the inconvenience they cause to all. In short, I don't think computers should wear the pants or make the decisions. They are deficient in humor, they are not intuitive, and they are not aware of the imponderables. The men who feed them seem to believe that everything is made out of ponderables, which isn't the case. I read a poem once that a computer had written, but didn't care much for it. It seemed to me I could write a better one myself, if I were to put my mind to it.

How can I tolerate the slightest inconvenience to them, the women, the children, the� sick, the aged, the blind, the decrepit, that come for counsel, consolation, courage and cure?
