...committee member stressed that "we are not advising people to resist the draft. But if a physicist comes to us and has already decided to leave the country permanently, we want to help him find a place where he could at least continue his work...
Freshman year I was stuck with two roommates, one very much a physicist from the day he was born and the other one from Fieldstone in New York. He wanted to be a good doctor, his father was a doctor. He was a Jewish kid, very much concerned with getting the grades and getting into medical school. He was a nice guy just caught up too much in trying to be a professional and successful.

Called in for the job, Dr. Heinrich Peesel, a Hamburg physicist, submitted a frankly "insulting" report that rapped Rollei for feeble R. & D. efforts and outdated production methods. Far from being insulted, the company hired Peesel to put his recommendations into effect. A youthful pragmatist who is now 42, Peesel had no taste for the European tradition of age in the executive suite...
