They hate each other. Newton doesn't understand a sh.it of Hawking's rabble. He probably thinks this is a Hell's agent sent for him.
In the mean time, a buzzing toaster came to London city court to claim inheritance.

Harry Anderson, from TV's Night Court.

He was only 65, kind of a shocker.

I read the "Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" in High School.
"The Right Stuff" while in the Air Force...
and "Bonfire of the Vanities" afterward as a yuppie wannabe.
To say the that Tom's writing was influential in my life would be modest prose indeed.

Godspeed Tom Wolfe!

Philip Roth dies yesterday aged 85.
