Chlorpromazine is that hypnotic that causes memory loss iirc. Side-effects include personality dissociation, if it's what I think it is.
FORTRAN is a computer language, not a progam. It stands for FORmula TRANslation, was state-of-the-art in academia (especially math, computer science, statistics) and business for many decades until mid-70s. After 1977 it delcined and was practically dead by 1986, soon to be followed by COBOL. COBOL's last gasp was the Y2K scam.
It's probably a coincidence but another Latvian was mentioned recently on the forum in connexion with the Indio, California base and Customs. I think his name was Vidnieks, also spelled Vidniex.
I'm going to dig through boxes of old magazines and try to find what the Economist wrote about Vaira Vike...
