xii, 384 pp. Original wrappers. Very Good. First Edition. SIGNED BY LANCE HOFFMAN TO WILLIS WARE: "To Willis/ Who gave me my best review/ in 1970 for a paper and who,/ as he and I canter along the/ computer security highway, becomes/ even more incisive and (as always)/ one of the most fun people in/ the field./ All the best,/ Lance/ 10/2/90." In 2010, Ware, then 90 years old, described the part he played in the 1960s and 1970s in the early discussions of computers, information security and personal privacy: "ARPA asked RAND to have me chair a study to address (what we now call) computer security. The study was briefed to the Defense Science Board and laid the foundation for subsequent USAF and ARPA studies and research papers. Consequently I was asked by the Secretary of HEW to chair a committee to address 'personal privacy'--personal information stored in a computer-based system. The work of that Secretary's Special Advisory Committee on Automated Personal Data Systems and its policy recommendations funneled into the Privacy Act of 1974, which created the seven-member Privacy Protection Study Commission to which I was appointed by President Ford (and served as vice chairman). . . . We functioned for two years and three months and produced a final report and five individually bound appendices. Thus, I can legitimately claim to have been the driving force for two of the most important policy issues relevant to (what we now call) information systems: information security and personal privacy" (IEEE Annals of the History of Computing, July-September 2011, p. 72).

Frontispiece, pp. 153-166. Original wrappers. Near Fine. First Edition. SIGNED BY DAVID BALTIMORE (on the front wrapper). Offprint of David Baltimore's Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1975. The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1975 was awarded jointly to David Baltimore, Renato Dulbecco and Howard Martin Temin "for their discoveries concerning the interaction between tumour viruses and the genetic material of the cell." "After Renato Dulbecco discovered that tumor viruses operate by incorporating their DNA into the DNA of host cells, David Baltimore and Howard Temin--independently of one another--discovered that viruses with genomes consisting of RNA can also be inserted into host cells' DNA. This takes place through an enzyme known as 'reverse transcriptase'. The discovery that the information in RNA can be transferred to DNA meant that the generally accepted rule that genetic information was only transferred in one direction--from DNA to RNA, to protein--had to be modified" (Nobel Prize website).
