In the mid 70s, there was an AT&T funded symposium at MIT "Celebrating
the 100th Anniversary of the Telephone."  Joe Weizenbaum kindly gave me
a ticket.  There were some interesting talks: the best was Arthur C  
Clarke,
who came down from his mountaintop in Ceylon and gave a fine talk about
communication satellites.  Nobody mentioned Meucci, or improper  
arrangements,
or kickbacks, or Ernestine.
