M. Gardner. Solitaire game of "Life". SA (Oct 1970). On cellular automata, self reproduction, the Garden of Eden and the game of "Life". SA (Feb 1971). c= Wheels, chap. 20-22. In the Oct 1970 issue, Conway offered a $50 prize for a configuration which became infinitely large -- Bill Gosper found the glider gun a month later. At G4G2, 1996, Bob Wainwright showed a picture of Gosper's telegram to Gardner on 4 Nov 1970 giving the coordinates of the glider gun. I wasn't clear if Wainwright has this or Gardner still has it.
