Hmmm, maybe you're right. I'll have to check my source.  But in either case,
I do distinctly remember looking up where he got his PhD and if I remember
correctly, I wasn't someplace you might expect.

All in all, I think most people writing in about this are in agreement: that
it doesn't hurt to be a great scientist, that fame and fortune are something
that few would turn away if it came to them, that being at an MIT could be
very nice and cozy (heck, I dream of getting there again someday), that
politics plays too much of a role in all of this, and that sometimes life
ain't fair.  I guess if we can manage to deal with the pressures upon us
and not go nuts, then maybe we'll all be all right.
