Connecting 25 & 26 CYORA, I remember during the previous AI Summer of mid 1980s there was interest in making spending research $$ to reify the fictional setup of _3/7 Days of the CONDOR_ -- AI reading everything to predict/find incipient terrorism.
(CONDOR setting was partially true even then: CCA M204 text database was dual-use CIA with NLM Index Medicus as the open sponsor; marvelous system. IDK if they had OCR as in the film, or a lot of keyboardists.)
