Dali was in turn using the block portrait of Lincoln created by Leon Harmon (a researcher at Bell Labs) in his 1973 Scientific American article.

Harmon did lot of interesting work on face recognition and photomosaics. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leon_Harmon

I was wondering about “America,” so I looked it up in my Scrabble dictionary, and it is not a valid Scrabble word.
