Giancarlo Rota's reminiscences

If you have any interest in mathematical logic, and you haven't read Giancarlo Rota's reminiscences of Princeton's math department in the 1950s, and more specifically his homage to Alonzo Church, I would urge you to do so. It is both very funny and very moving.

Okay, sorry, back to work.
