Like most old American Ph.D. theses it is available from UMI
(http://www.umi.com) for a fee. You can download a PDF image from their
website. UMI is often the only source for old Ph.D. theses.

[I poked around UMI's web site. They have Earley's thesis, but it appears
that due to its age it's only available in hardcopy. Unless you specifically
need the thesis, I'd pay the ACM $5 and get the CACM article. -John]
