-> SK>Have you read Richard Feynman's books _Surely You Must be Joking?_
-> and SK>_What Do You Care What Other People Think?_ ? I don't remember
-> which
-> I have read his books.  In fact, I met him.  I spent a month at a
-> summer institute which he also attended, and he lived across the
-> street from me with his family.
Wow! I am jealous. Wish I could've done the same, while he was still
with us.
-> He was an incredible person.   His insight into the physical world
-> was extraordinary, and his way of thinking truly original and
-> creative.
-> He was also a certified character, which comes thru in those books
-> too.  Part of the latter was a deliberate act.
I am not surprised at the delibarate act part. I have known students who
did the same, and can't say that I am completely innocent of it myself.
But he sure was unique. I have recommended those two books to many
people, and they have always enjoyed them.
