I found these online, by doing a Google search for
"tables of random numbers" or somesuch. That came from a page
about an early table, published by the Rand Corporation. (It
went on for awhile about how they produced their "random"
numbers, and then did lots of statistical tests to check that
they really were random. Interesting, sort of.)
They had the standard kind of random digits too, but
when I saw what they called their values of the standard
normal random variable, I had to go for the "normal deviates".
