Dear Professor Varah:

	I have known Wolfgang Bibel for a number of years.  I have
been impressed with the variety of topics he works on and with his
independence of mind.  I am impressed with his work on connection
graphs and also with his approach to formalizing common sense
knowledge.

  I can't give a more precise evaluation of his
work, because I find much of it technically rather difficult
compared to the level of my interest in the topics.

I don't recall hearing him lecture, but I would think his systematic
approach to problems would make him a good lecturer and good at
supervising students.

\closing
Sincerely,    

John McCarthy
