Try "Inside Computer Understanding: Five Programs Plus Miniatures" by
Roger C. Schank and Christopher K. Riesbeck.  Published in 1981 by
Lawrence Erlbaum Associates (LEA).  The five programs are source code
for micro versions of SAM, PAM, TAPE-SPIN, POLITICS, and ELI.  They are
not in Common Lisp but are easily converted by using macros.
