H. Donald Wilson, the man who thought up Lexis-Nexis, back in 1969, has died:A turning point for the acceptance of Lexis came in the early 1970s, when Mr. Wilson arranged for a skeptical audience at the Supreme Court to use the new system. The Lexis system found more cases than the court clerks found by using manual research methods.
Sounds like a scene from the movie
"Desk Set"... except in the movie -- spoiler alert! -- the human beings beat the computer.
Bunny Watson: I don't smoke, I only drink champagne when I'm lucky enough to get it, my hair is naturally natural, I live alone... and so do you.
Richard Sumner: How do you know that?
Bunny Watson: Because you're wearing one brown sock and one black sock.
See? People are better. But thanks for the machine!

Thanks. Fixed.
He has no chemistry with her.
Hard to believe they liked eachother in real life....although whatever she found attractive in him..who knows? He was a drunk, and a mean drunk at that.
Don't like her, or her taste in men---married men.
A much better movie along the same lines... "His Gal Friday" with Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant..I think that's 1942.
Peace, Maxine
