Several ARPANET/Internet people are mentioned in the article, and of
course Harvard was an early ARPANET site.
(Also, if I remember correctly, Harvard's IMP was the destination for
all packets during an ARPANET routing failure caused by a bad memory bit
that led to additional check summing in the IMP code. Not Harvard's
fault, of course.)
