Of course, Will Crowther is best known for his part in writing Colossal 
Cave Adventure, something it seems he does *not* want to talk about 
publicly.

Bernie Cosell is an MIT alumnus who used to post to <a.f.c.> in years 
past.  He *may* still be lurking, in case anyone slips up and posts 
something related to computers!  :-)

In the book _Coders at Work_, Cosell was interviewed.  He spoke highly 
of Frank Heart and Heart's management style.  The book is a collection 
of 15 interviews with different "famous" programmers.  I recommend the book.
