SUBJECT: Lies! 

The  bureaucracy  at   San  Jose  State  requires  three   letter  of
recommendation  so that I might  teach their graduate  course in data
structures. You have been selected  as one of the lucky  participants.

The students are not too sophisticated, basically Master's level with
limited background in Computer Science.
The course  will be given  this spring, and I  will be using  my LISP
manuscript. I  realize the inconvenience involved, but a few lies are
good for the soul.  You know a bit  about the manuscript; it  is much
improved  since you read  it.   You know  a bit about  me; I  am much
improved... well... . I  take my teaching  duties quite seriously  so
you should  not feel  this is  a boondoggle.  I will  be debugging  a
"final" version  for publication, so the text  for the course will be
readable. Basically it will be a very strong course in data structures
and LISP, similar to what I have done at UCLA and UCSC. Students at
those institutions seemed to have enjoyed and profited from the
experience.

The letter should be addressed to:

Dr. Frank Fuller, Chairman
Mathematics Department
San Jose State University
San Jose, Cal 95192
