When Robert discovered that two friends were regularly reading Dante in the original Italian, he disappeared from Göttingen’s cafés for a month and returned with enough Italian to read Dante aloud. Dirac was unimpressed, grumbling, “Why do you waste time on such trash? And I think you’re giving too much time to music and that painting collection of yours.” But Robert lived comfortably in worlds beyond Dirac’s comprehension and so was merely amused by his friend’s urgings, during their long walks around Göttingen, to abandon the pursuit of the irrational.
In the fall of 1969, the Vietnam War protests were in full swing,
and Berkeley was a focal point for student dissent. Many students
and faculty went on strike. The students in Morrey’s differential equations
course went further than missing a few classes; everyone dropped out
except for me, who was brand new to the country and not yet enmeshed in
the political debate. Yet Morrey was still willing to continue the course.
In fact, he did more than just the usual preparation, he crafted lectures
that were tailored specifically for me, geared both to my interests and
to my level. I never expected one-on-one attention like this at a big
university like Berkeley with thirty thousand or so students, but these
were truly extraordinary times.
once again, the entire [berkeley campus] cleared out. I was the
only person there for two weeks. Fortunately, the math library
stayed open the whole time, which was my Christmas Miracle.
