This dramatic victory was, in part, a triumph of computer simulation. We know this because of a report filed that same month by E.A. Bayne of the American Universities Field Staff: "At least four of the most advanced computer models available (including one wholly developed at the Weizmann Institute in Israel) worked fulltime on military problems before, during, and after the hostilities" [Bayne, p. 1] . This mixture of computer science with military science had a profound effect on world events. Yet the basic facts regarding these computer models remain secret . We do not know what military problems they solved for the Israelis, or where the first three (or more) were written, or who wrote them . E.A. Bayne could easily have cleared up the
