The SAGE system was composed of multiple redundant computers, with the military designation AN/FSQ-7, the largest computer system ever built. SAGE was built to control NORAD's response to any perceived Soviet air attack. Its various installations operated in this capacity from the late 1950s into the 1980s, generally known as the "Cold War" period. Edward R. Murrow was one of the most well known news journalists of the 1950's and early 1960's. (His career is spotlighted in the movie "Good Night, and Good Luck.") ("See It Now" series)
