The World Trade Center towers MUST rise again,
at least as tall as before...or terror has triumphed.
There is a British mathematician named C.A.R. Hoare who designed
the fabulously influential algorithm called QuickSort in 1962. Any
relation to the rest of these layabouts?
No, his first name is not Crack,
MattH
Landed Gentry...Hoare of Stourton.
Who's a layabout?
Yes, if he's Charles Antony Richard Hoare.
Yawn.
Brother? Cousin? Nephew?
Details, please,
MattH
The late Joseph Hoare (1925-2002) was a fourth cousin of the
mathematician CAR Hoare (Sir Charles Antony Richard Hoare, known as
Tony b. 1934, knighted in 2000). Both gents are descended from Henry
Hoare, (1750-1828), of Mitcham Grove, Surrey, Parner in Hoare's Bank
from 1778.
CAR Hoare's mother was a Villiers, descended from the Earls of
Clarendon.
Nice to see it's not just pop stars, film actors and political
hacks getting knighted these days. QuickSort was a giant step forward
for computer science and he deserves recognition outside the field.

You mean that they broke into a puff piece in order to do some actual
news?
Yes, that's true, but many of their viewers prefer puff pieces to actual news.
