Sorry, the copy I have of this newsletter was cut off at this point. I found it in a paperback book of Enrico Fermi's Lecture Notes on Quantum Mechanics that I got from David Potter of Austin, who was a physics grad student at UT-Austin in 1967. I arrived as a grad physics student there a little over 20 years later. See my journal entry from 30 August 1987 about grad student orientation, posted on 30 August 2017.
What’s it all about, Lair-REE? Is it about receiving with simplicity all that happens to us? Or are Joel and Ethan Coen just messing with our minds (again) when they use that quote from Rashi as an epigraph at the beginning of A Serious Man, a movie that focuses on the troubles of Professor Lawrence “Larry” Gopnik, physicist and Jew? Larry seems to "receive with simplicity" and gets emotionally backhanded in a slapstick fashion every time. Key word: slapstick. Key word for this blog: phyziks.
