"Nevertheless, the realization that breaking a pencil point would have far less disastrous consequences played little or no role, I believe, in this decision to explore theory!"
Decision
"Being exposed to theory, stimulated by a basic love of concepts and mathematics, was a marvelous experience."
Experience
"My interest in the sciences started with mathematics in the very beginning, and later with chemistry in early high school and the proverbial home chemistry set."
Home
"I have always loved going to school."
School

Attention
"After a subsequent interview at Brooklyn Poly, I was hired, and life as a fully independent researcher began."

Research
"My life as a working theorist began three months after this preliminary study and background reading, when Oscar gently nudged me toward working on a particular problem."
