- Could someone provide a reference (or email address of an author(s)) to the
- work by S. Arora, M. Sudan, R. Motwani, C. Lund, and M. Szegedy mentioned in
- New Scientist 12/12/92: "Their result implies that if P != NP, then there is
- a threshold beyond which it is just as hard to find a good approximation
- algorithm that will always work as it is to find a good solution."

- Thanks --dave
