我一直在读上面提到的布什回忆录《Pieces of the Action》，挺不错的。尽是些关于工程和组织政治的故事。丝毫不逊色于任何商业经典（比如《我在通用汽车的岁月》或《High Output Management》）。
I've been reading the mentioned Bush memoir "Pieces of the Action" and it's pretty good. Stories about engineering and organizational politics. As good as any business classic (e.g. "My Years With General Motors" or "High Output Management").
《Pieces of the Action》写得极好。是一本不像自传的自传。书里很多地方都能看出哪怕过了 20 多年，他对某些名字或事件依然守口如瓶。比如书开头提到的‘某某将军’，……
Pieces of the Action is excellent. A non-autobiography autobiography. Many points in the book feature him being discreet about some name or some incident, even 20+ years on. For example, 'General Blank'early in the book,…
……是对抽象符号表示的极佳补充，有时甚至更胜一筹。正因如此，他和他的同事们对向数字计算的过渡感到惋惜。例如，他在《Pieces of the Action》（第 262 页）中写到了‘一个说明基础微积分教起来有多容易的例子’，讲述了一个高中学历的机械工通过在微分分析仪（differential analyzer）上工作学会了微积分。‘这非常有趣……
…were excellent complements to, and sometimes superior to, abstract symbolic representations. For this reason he and his colleagues grieved the transition to digital computing. For example, he writes in Pieces of the Action (p. 262) of "an example of how easy it is to teach fundamental calculus," about a mechanic with a high school education who learned calculus by working on the differential analyzer. "It was very interesting…

感谢你们的所有付出！我买了好几本 Stripe Press 的书，特别喜欢《大众的反叛》（Revolt of the Public）和《Pieces of the Action》。
Thank you for all your work! I have several Stripe Press books, especially enjoyed Revolt of the Public and Pieces of the Action.

我想看看万尼瓦尔·布什当年提供给 NSA 前身机构的快速分析机（rapid analytical machine）计算机模型。参见 Colin Burke 的研究以及《Pieces of the Action》
I want to see models of Vannevar Bush's rapid analytical machine computers supplied to the proto-NSA. See Colin Burke and Pieces of the Action
