Answer to the Anne Northup/Will Smith puzzle revealed!

I was late coming in last night, so I was unable to post the answer to the puzzle earlier. Here it is: The answer to the puzzle is that both Anne Northup and the Actor, Will Smith, had to chase down a runaway Robot intent on doing harm.

As for the The Actor, Will Smith, he played a Chicago Police Officer Del Spooner in the 2004 movie, I, Robot, where a runaway Robot named Sonny, defied the three laws integrated into the "Robot's operating systems as a part of their creation (the three laws were: One, they cannot harm a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. Two, they must do whatever they're told by a human being as long as such orders don't conflict with law one. Three, they have to defend themselves as long as such defense doesn't conflict with laws one or two), and harmed humans -- the creator of these laws was the Robot's first casualty.

In Northup's case, her campaign caught flack for a runaway Computer (Robot's) "Robo calls" to voters late in the night, some repeatedly. Mrs. Northup has since apologized for the "errant" calls, which were possibly made in defiance of one of the above laws, causing some possible political harm. Unlike in the movie version, however, NO human death occurred and Dick Gresham, a partner at Conquest Communications, the outfit responsible for the "Robo calls" is still alive -- at least as of the time of this reporting.

So Micah Sheldon, Right in Kentucky Blogger, comes closest to getting the answer correct. He gets the special recognition for thinking of a movie with aliens and saving mankind, though he chose the WRONG movie. Honorable mentions go to others who observed that both Northup and Will Smith have Black children and both were second children.

Thanks to ALL of you who participated.
