Delattre holds weekly seminars in poetry and prose, stages original plays, has a psychiatrist from the San Francisco Veterans' Administration give group therapy sessions. On Sundays Delattre invites a select half-dozen to his flat for an agape* of bread, wine and cheese...

"Such instances damage the morale of the scientific worker." ¶Harvard's Percy W. Bridgman (1946 prize-physics of high pressures): "If I think that my colleague may be able to make some helpful...
