Pretty sure Dick wrote LOOP. There was an ai working paper on the subject by him iirc too. Teitelman had left mit by the time I got there, though I later got to deal with DWIM (which seems to have infected web browsers and npm etc :-( ) at PARC. one great titlemanism was the addition of ] to Interlisp.

Are you sure you are not mixing this up with the Series system, where Richard Waters wrote a bunch of papers on?

The paper from 1980 on 'LOOP Iteration Macro' by Burke&Moon does not mention him at all.

Ha, that's a funny scan! I have a paper copy of that memo someplace.

Yeah, I might be misremembering.
