...Being in Israel by itself was exhilarating," Griliches said, "but it was also good to get away from all the pressures of the rat race. Leaves allow you to break from commitments you've accumulated, over time, like barnacles...

But no one has yet uncovered flaws in his elaborate mathematics. Indeed, many theorists believe that with this work Hawking may well have qualified for the Nobel Prize by taking the first step toward a goal that...
