Edmund Berkeley and the Social Responsibility of Computer Professionals
Edmund Callis Berkeley was born on March 20, 1909 in New York City. From 1918- 1923, he attended St. Bernard's School for Boys at 111 East 60th Street, where he learned about the sciences, the arts, creativity, and character. During that time, Berkeley recalled, "The first ambition I ever had was to paint black fences orange. In New York in the East Sixties when I was a child being taken to the park, I used to see every now and then men in white suits transforming dirty iron fences into radiant red-orange glory." Berkeley never lost this ambition to transform "what is" into "what could be." Ultimately, Berkeley's story is one of electronic computer development and politics. Ever the inventor, Berkeley transformed his visions of the future into intelligent machines to help people make good decisions. Ever the teacher, Berkeley transformed his trials into parables to help people tell truth from falsehood. With the perspective of time, we can follow his story somewhere in the grey areas between true and false

William Sheppard, Cromwell's Law Reformer
This study presents a full account of Sheppard's employment under Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate as well as an examination of his family background and education, his religious commitment to John Owen's party of Independents and his legal philosophy. An appraisal of all Sheppard's legal works, including those written during the Civil War and the Restoration period, illustrates the overlapping concerns with law reform, religion and politics in his generation. Sheppard had impressively consistent goals for the reform of English law and his prescient proposals anticipate the reforms ultimately adopted in the nineteenth century, culminating in the Judicature Acts of 1875-8. Dr Matthews examines the relative importance of Sheppard's books to his generation and to legal literature in general. The study provides a full bibliography of Sheppard's legal and religious works and an appendix of the sources Sheppard used in the composition of his books on the law.
