AbstractNo abstract: the piece opens with an epigraph and then straight into its argument. Leaf 1 runs the title, the subtitle 'From the Wiener Circles to Licklider and ARPA's Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO)', the byline 'Ronda Hauben', a block quotation from Licklider dated 1967 -- 'I believe that we are indeed participating in an intellectual revolution...' -- and then the first sentence of the text, 'J.C.R. Licklider's vision is widely recognized as having had an important impact on the development of the Internet.' No abstract, no summary, no standfirst. Established by reading the copy.

Distinct fromrussell2001ideological Complementary rather than duplicate: Russell accounts for the institutional conditions at ARPA, Hauben for the intellectual descent from the Wiener circles. Both were requested together and acquired the same day.
