| Jun 13, 2013 at 11:02 | comment | added | Jean-Marc Schlenker | Misha: maybe "exciting" was the wrong term, would "eventful" be ok? | |
| Jun 12, 2013 at 17:04 | comment | added | Misha | "Exciting" sounds just wrong in this case, as Pell's carrear until age 27 was: terrorist->police informer->terrorist->refugee, while getting PhD in math at age 40. Kids, do not try this at home. | |
