Hi Julie, I read this. I also read Richard Feynman's book. In it, he talks about his wife's death and his puzzlement over his inability to cry. Further in the book, he talks about what happened to him re this. A wonderful illustration of the complexities of human emotions. Accompanying one of the links is a brief video re authority. The book review is wonderful. What I really like about the review is their down to earth take on it and understanding the difference between scientists and others. He was an extraordinary human being, one of those I wish I had had privilege to know.
