+When I became acquainted with the notion of algorithmic languages I
+never challenged the then prevailing notion that the problems of
+language design and implementation were mostly a question of
+compromises: every new convenience for the user had to be paid for
+by the implementation, either in the form of increased trouble
+during translation, or during execution or during both. Well, we
+are most certainly not living in Heaven and I am not going to deny
+the possibility of a conflict between convenience and efficiency,
+but now I do protest when this conflict is presented as a complete
+summing up of the situation. I am of the opinion that is worth-while
+to investigate what extent the needs of Man and Machine go hand in
+hand and to see what techniques we can devise of the benefit of all
+of us. I trust that this investigation will bear fruits and if this
+talk made some of you share this fervent hope, it has achieved its aim.

+
+ The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
+ It isn't just one of your holiday games;
+ You may think at first I'm as mad as a hatter
+ When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
+ First of all, there's the name that the family use daily,
+ Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo or James,
+ Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey--
+ All of them sensible everyday names.
+ There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
+ Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
+ Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter--
+ But all of them sensible everyday names.
+ But I tell you, a cat needs a name that's particular,
+ A name that's peculiar, and more dignified,
+ Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
+ Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
+ Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
+ Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
+ Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum-
+ Names that never belong to more than one cat.
+ But above and beyond there's still one name left over,
+ And that is the name that you never will guess;
+ The name that no human research can discover--
+ But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
+ When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
+ The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
+ His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
+ Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
+ His ineffable effable
+ Effanineffable
+ Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

+
+On August 25, 1983, Leonard Bernstein celebrated his sixty-fifth
+birthday in his birthplace, Lawrence, Massachusetts. He had actually
+lived in the town for only a few weeks as a newborn baby, and had last
+visited it forty-nine years previously, in 1934, to get the name on his
+birth certificate altered from Louis to Leonard. But the citizens of
+Lawrence proposed to dedicate an outdoor theater to him in their
+heritage park and to provide not one but two local orchestras--the
+Merrimack Valley Philharmonic to play excerpts from his own compositions
+and the Greater Boston Youth Symphony and Chorus to perform the "Ode to
+Joy" and accompany Bernstein himself reading (for the only time in his
+life) the text of A Lincoln Portrait. So Bernstein turned down birthday
+invitations from Tanglewood and Central Park, New York, and the
+Hollywood Bowl and drove through the cheering if slightly bewildered
+crowds lining the streets of Lawrence in an open-topped 1928 Ford
+roadster, looking as homespun as James Stewart in Frank Capra's classic,
+It's a Wonderful Life.

+
+The origins of the name "Bernstein" are sometimes linked with the German
+noun Bernstein, which means "amber"--a translucent yellowish fossilized
+resin, used for ornaments and thought to possess magical properties.
+Leonard Bernstein would later call himself "Lenny Amber" when he needed
+a pseudonym for the popular piano transcriptions he published in his
+mid-twenties, and his business affairs would be organized within a
+company called Amberson Enterprises. There are several towns and
+villages named Bernstein in Germany and Austria (where the pronunciation
+is BernSTINE), but Bernstein's parents came from Jewish ghettos in
+northwestern Ukraine, where the last syllable is usually pronounced
+BernSHTAYN or STEEN. Sam insisted, however, on the mid-European style
+employed by the earlier immigrants.
