I've read the first few pages. Looks like an interesting paper and I'll read it further. Only flaw is that it doesn't cover Steve Russell being the first to discover/invent continuations. Steve Russell was the first implementor of LISP, and gave it its final syntax after McCarthy did his design work on it.

Are you confusing continuations with closures? McCarthy credits Russell with inventing the FUNARG device to achieve lexical scoping.
