The problem of transmitting scientific knowledge is a very difficult business.

In the evenings I studied chemistry at the University of Chicago, the weekends I helped in the family store.

I had no new ideas on the physics we might learn, and I could not compete with the younger generation.

I survived only a year in Berkeley, partly because I declined to sign the anticommunist loyalty oath.

I reverted easily to my wild state, that is experimentation.

I joined the Army and was sent to the MIT radiation laboratory after a few months of introduction to electromagnetic wave theory in a special course, given for Army personnel at the University of Chicago.
