I haven't received an abstract to post; sorry.  What happens with these
notices is that the secretary who makes the printed notices mails me the
troff input.  I nroff it and jump up and down on it manually, and post the
version you see.

Bell is also giving a "Lecture" on "The architecture of Ardent supercomputers"
in the same room at 2 p.m. the same day.  Our printed notice looks as if it
has an abstract for that, but closer inspection shows it to be a brief
biography.

Personally, I'd have reversed the classifications of the colloquium and the
lecture.  However, I guess I'd be likely to go on the strength of the speaker's
name, regardless of the title or the classification.
