Is anyone else upset about the proliferation of computerized-
police-state tv shows?  The consistent message in "Whiz Kids",
"Automan", "Knight Rider" and (by all reviews) "Blue Thunder"
is that the computer = the law = your friend.  This Hollywood
Trinity-for-our-times offends me as a computer scientist the way
"Mr. T" would were I Black.  Yessiree, it's 1984, right on schedule.
