    Chuck:

    I'm sure Betty and Frances are delightful little old ladies,
    but...

    Separate data and program spaces is the now-famous HARVARD
    architecture.

    The "now famous Von Neumann architecture" (note the correct
    spelling) is the OTHER one... The one with data and program in
    the SAME memory space.
