Correction

I stand corrected: thank you to reader skmurphy for pointing out my erroneous attribution of the Game of Life to von Neumann, when it was actually developed (on the back, admittedly, of Neumann's work) by John Conway. I had cited Warsh's cite, and also recalled from Waldrop's book, that Neumann was involved. Error duly noted and corrected. Thanks.
