Instead, the man whom Harvard snapped up almost immediately upon his arrival in the United States had a "stature equivalent to being practically a research assistant," observes Shlomo Z. Sternberg, Putnam Professor of Pure and Applied Mathematics...
...Soviets allow mathematicians of such caliber to go seems rather odd, especially in light of their fixation with mathematical and technical expertise. Nathanson guesses that it has to do with the fact that scholars like Bernstein and Kazhdan work in pure mathematics which, unlike applied math, has no immediate use for developing weapons and technology. "These people tend to be short-sighted," he says, adding that losing such mathematicians could come back to haunt the Soviets in the long-term...
Despite official ostracism (he was not part of the math department, per se). Bernstein was able to gain a reputation-especially in the West-as one of the top young Soviet pure mathematicians. As Harvard Math Department Chairman David B. Mumford relates it, Bernstein was a student of a Russian mathematicians named I.M. Gelfand, who runs a series of weekly seminars world famous in advanced math circles. Bernstein, like Gelfand's other students, developed a broad facility that ranges "over almost the whole of mathematics," according to Mumford. That breadth-the likes of which is seldom seen in the West...
...plot itself is pure mechanistic comedy of the most elemental kind, revolving around an almost abstract symmetry of mistaken identities. In sketch as succinctly as possible, there are two pairs of twins, each pair sharing name Antipholus of Syracuse (Harry S. Murphy) and Antipholus of Ephesus (Paul Schierhorn), and their servant Dromio of Syracuse (Thomas Derrah) and Dromio of Ephesus (Stephen Rowe). The Antipholi and Dromios were separated in s shipwreck at a very young age, and now Antipholus of Ephesus, having sought his lost lost twin for seven years, finds himself in the hostile city of Syracuse, not knowing...
...some day and get happy with it. I want to go higher and higher." Just how high a man can go, like how fast and how far, has always been the peculiar fascination of athletics in its purest form, track and field, where the athletes are not exactly pure but certainly are peculiar...
