John and Max in Warsaw
When
people heard that I was getting the Zeldovitch medal everyone wanted to
know, "Can you really wear this thing?" Sadly, the medal does not come
with a pin on the back (and its really too heavy to be worn this way)
or with a ribbon, or even a place to attach one, so wearing it at those
White House dinners seemed to be out of the question. But then, while
at a party at Andrew Pohorille's house in Warsaw, John
Rummel (at left) and I disovered a whole new way to wear the medal.
I found that if I licked the back and pressed it really really hard to
my head it stuck, and this photo is the proof. Perhaps you are not familiar
with Zeldovitch for whom the medal is named. If you would like to learn
