[David Breecker]

Here's what I don't quite get (and would be interested in knowing  
more about from those who understand priority): I read and was deeply  
influenced by "The Evolution of Cooperation" by Robert Axelrod,  
shortly after its 1984 publication. Axelrod ran a round-robin  
Prisoners Dilemma tournament, which yielded strategies he called "tit  
for tat" and "tit for two tats" as victors (depending on the  
conditions), and explored such matters (if memory serves) as  
recognition/reciprocity and recurrent contacts.

Why is there no mention of this in the Nowak stuff, which sounds  
oddly familiar to my non-technical ear?
