   I'm looking for a published reference for the idea of futures, either in
   Lisp or in Smalltalk.  (No, I don't want an explaination of the idea, I
   understand that well enough; I want a reference for a paper I'm writing).

Futures are one of two constructs used for dealing with parallelism
in Multilisp.  Their function is described in:

	Halstead, R. H., "Implementation of Multilisp:  Lisp on a
		Multiprocessor,"  1984 ACM Symposiusm on Lisp and
		Functional Programming, 1984.
