Back in the seventies, a major Milwaukee newspaper employed one of the first primitive computerized systems for editing stories, making sure that no naughty words slipped by accidentally. And then a problem arose. In the Sunday edition, there was a column in the entertainment section which listed the top-requested songs in the Milwaukee area. The name of the column was Milwaukee's Hit Parade. For some reason, the computer program kept kicking the title out, refusing to have it go to print. The befuddled editors kept scratching their heads until they finally noticed why. See if you can find in the name what the computer did, but the editors initially did not.======================
