There are times I simply cannot think,

It just has gone on so long. It will take me a few days to say something finally, really happened, ... They [the authority] did their very best to get out of assuming what, indeed, was their liability. ... I am delighted someone has finally said 'you are responsible for what has happened to these people and to these businesses.'

But you see-you-you can't-so-you can't so well argue about these things. I've learned that it's better that I-I don't talk about it.

I seem to be thinking rationally again in the style that is characteristic of scientists. However, this is not entirely a matter of joy as if someone returned from physical disability to good physical health.

I did have strange ideas during certain periods of time.

The mathematics faculty were encouraging me to shift into mathematics as my major and explaining to me that it was not almost impossible to make a good career in America as a mathematician. So I... became officially a student of mathematics. And in the end I had learned and progressed so much in mathematics that they gave me an M.S. in addition to my B.S. when I graduated.
