“The Boston-born and Los Angeles–raised son of a labor organizer, McCarthy had the soul of a radical and the mind of a scientist. He had graduated high school two years ahead of schedule and earned degrees from Cal Tech and Princeton before joining the faculty of Dartmouth. Of the many scholars entranced by the computer’s potential to imitate and complement the human brain, McCarthy was the one who in 1955 put a name to the phenomenon and the field of research that rose around it: “artificial intelligence.”

“Good ideas and good products are a dime a dozen,” he later explained. “Good execution and good management—in a word, good people—are rare.”
Margaret O'Mara, The Code: Silicon Valley and the Remaking of America

“Thus, at the same time that Fred Terman was turning the Farm into the nation’s most entrepreneurial technical university, Glenn Campbell was making the campus home to an all-star roster of conservative thinkers and politicians—undeterred by the periodic angst they stirred up in the more liberal campus precincts surrounding Hoover Tower.”
