Computation</i>, by John Hopcroft and Jeffrey Ullman,
(Addison-Wesley, 1979). So called because the cover depicts a girl
(putatively Cinderella) sitting in front of a Rube Goldberg device and
holding a rope coming out of it. On the back cover, the device is in
shambles after she has (inevitably) pulled on the rope. See also
