The copy of "Dostoyevsky: NOTES FROM THE UNDERGROUND; WHITE NIGHTS; THE DREAM OF A RIDICULOUS MAN, and selections from THE HOUSE OF THE DEAD" that I got from the discarded books pile from CHS way back. This is the Andrew MacAndrew version (what a name, huh?)
Am currently trudging my way through the somewhat intimidating A SHORT HISTORY OF NEARLY EVERYTHING by Bryson. I am on page 163 out of 478 (not counting notes and references). On page 162 I came across the quote where Fermi supposedly said "Young man, if I could remember the names of these particles, I would have been a botanist."
"?!" I thought.
Well, life goes on.
