: Fred,
: I am forever amazed by the wealth of life experience that you posess.
: How the hell do you meet these people!?
++++Here's my basic formula..."If you don't hang your ass out there...it ain't gonna get bit".
: I wonder just what those equations contained and if they were significant.
+++That's the intriguing thing...when is a crazy person just out of step...or sane before his time? I don't know. If Nash's scribbles didn't have some utitlity...if he wasn't stable enough to be of some use...would he also have wound up in a flop house? Is Princeton an expensive and glorified Flop House?
+++Was my Nash a genius without the help of the right kind to keep enough sanity to pull off something he was working on?
+++How many geniuses are we snuffing out daily? The ordinary people don't seem to count any.
