1942年，前数学教授 Herman H. Goldstine 中尉驻扎在宾夕法尼亚大学的 Moore School of Electrical Engineering。正是在那里，他协助研制了第一台电子数字计算机 ENIAC。ENIAC 于1945年投入运行，但新计算机的研发计划当时已在筹备之中。新计算机的核心思想主要来自 John von Neumann，他随后成为了 Goldstine 的主要合作者。他们共同开发了 ENIAC 的后继机型 EDVAC。二战结束后，他们在 Institute for Advanced Study 制造了后来成为

Goldstine 还写过一本非常有意思的书，叫《从帕斯卡到冯·诺依曼的计算机》（The Computer from Pascal to von Neumann），里面记录了他的一些亲身经历，也展现了他试图从早期计算机器中汲取灵感的研究深度。
Goldstine also wrote a very interesting book called "The Computer from Pascal to von Neumann" that chronicles some of his experiences and also shows the depth of his research trying to draw inspiration from earlier calculating machines.

……一个好战分子，里面的引文倒没有伪造什么的，但这本书刚出版时，冯·诺依曼的几位同事就批评过它，认为这是在搞人身攻击。——在《从帕斯卡到冯·诺依曼的计算机》中，Goldstine 讲述了计算机的历史，不过全书大约有三分之二的篇幅都在写冯·诺依曼和他共同完成的工作，里面有大量的冯·诺依曼生平资料。显而易见……
…a war hawk, none of the quotes are false or anything like that but when the book first came out several of von Neumann's colleagues criticized the book for trying to character assassinate him. - The Computer from Pascal to von Neumann Goldstine talks about the history of the computer but about two-thirds of the book covers work von Neumann and him both did together and there is plenty of biographical material on von Neumann. Obviously…
……照相式记忆（过目不忘）的普遍程度：按照 Herman Goldstine 的说法，数学家约翰·冯·诺依曼能凭记忆背出他读过的每一本书。[15] 参见 Goldstine《从帕斯卡到冯·诺依曼的计算机》第 167 页：就我所知，冯·诺依曼只要读过一遍某本书或某篇文章，就能一字不差地背诵出来；不仅如此，哪怕过了好几年，他也能毫不犹豫地背出来。接着他还讲了个关于他的故事……
…Eidetic memory's prevalence: According to Herman Goldstine, the mathematician John von Neumann was able to recall from memory every book he had ever read. [15] Referring to Page 167 of Goldstine's The Computer from Pascal to von Neumann As far as I could tell, von Neumann was able on once reading a book or article to quote it back verbatim; moreover he could do it years later without hesitation. He then goes on with a story about him…
