I was looking through some of my old papers and found an interesting one
talking about (I quote), "Other programs developed at Yale can scan a
newspaper article, summarize the major points, and then update the
summary daily as new details unfold in the press."  I read the passage in
the article "Intelligent Machines" by Thomas Hoover, 1979.  Anyone know
of any code, papers, ideas, help on writing or obtaining a program that
is able to parse articles and build a continual summary from them?  Perhaps
there are other programs out there in existence that do this kind of thing?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!
