He was not the flamboyant Feynman of later years." Nuclear physicist and National Medal of Science recipient Herman Feshbach, Institute Professor emeritus, said that the Feynman he met as a senior in 1938 was "very conscientious, very square, very dedicated to physics. While Feynman buffs can get a new dose of his quirky views on life, religion, politics and science from the book, the MIT community filled Wong Auditorium, its aisles and lobby to hear four panelists reflect on Richard Feynman the man. In celebration of the posthumous publishing of the latest Feynman book - The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist (Perseus Press/Helix Books), based on three lectures he delivered in April 1963 at the University of Washington in Seattle - the MIT Humanities and Dewey libraries and the MIT Press Bookstore sponsored a tribute to Dr. His serious work and playful nature struck a chord with scientists and nonscientists alike who continue to idolize him 10 years after his death. While not exactly a household name, Richard Feynman made his mark in physics and in the hearts of those who knew him and knew of him.
