The November issue of IEEE Spectrum is devoted to the 5th Generation.
In addition to the main survey (which includes some very detailed tables
about sources of funding), there are:

  A review of Feigenbaum and McCorduck's book, by Mark Stefik.

  A glossary (p. 39) of about 25 AI and CS terms, taken from
  Gevarter's Overview of AI and Robotics for NASA.

  Announcement (p. 126) of The Artificial Intelligence Report, a
  newsletter for people interested in AI but not engaged in research.
  It will begin in January; no price is given.  Contact Artificial
  Intelligence Publications, 95 First St., Los Altos, CA  94022,
  (415) 949-2324.

  Announcement (p. 126) of a tour of Japan for those interested in
  the 5th Generation effort.

  Brief discussion (p. 126) of Art and Computers: The First Artificial-
  Intelligence Coloring Book, a set of line drawings by an artist-taught
  rule-based system.

  An interesting parable (p. 12) for those who would educate the public
  about AI or any other topic.
