Both did PhD's at Utah.  This means that copies of their theses contain
a biographical sketch up to the time of the theses.

Phong is not Phong.  His full name is Bui Tuong Phong.  I belive the
proper surname is Bui Tuong (it is definitely not Phong).  The second
edition of Newman and Sproull is dedicated to him (1942-1975).
