- His graduate students answer his correspondance, possibly after
- consulting with him for some of the details. Just a couple of months ago
- somebody came up to me asking for a 'translation' (physics to English) of
- the answer he got to a letter he sent to Stephen Hawking. The reply
- clearly stated that it had been written by a grad student. The rest was
- not so clear, but that was probably because I didn't know the original
- question as phrased, and the fellow who showed me the letter didn't have
- a copy of the letter he sent.
