Thanks, Nigel. And I agree with your objection in spirit. But, you see, back in the early 70s Princeton hadn't as yet organized a formal division, and there were no course offerings in the catalog, so everything was ad hoc and very unofficial. There was certainly plenty of academic-style controversy: our practice sessions, for example, were often marked by spirited (and occasionally rancorous) debate on the relative merits of the "original" or "basic" vs. the "108 gram" model. Yes, it was a pretty heady time! In fact, some of the scenes in the movie A Beautiful Mind were shot right in the courtyard where we used to have those sessions. I don't remember seeing John Nash there, though.

Aloha,
Mark
