Just to set the record straight, Andrew Glassner wrote the first paper on
octree ray tracing:

    %A Andrew S. Glassner
    %T Space Subdivision for Fast Ray Tracing
    %J IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications
    %V 4
    %N 10
    %D Oct. 1984
    %P 15-22

Kaplan wrote a paper on octree ray tracing which appeared in the 1985 siggraph
tutorial notes in which I believe he failed to cite Glassner's work.
Did Kaplan ever get his paper published for real (i.e. in a journal)?
