Abstract:
When Robert Oppenheimer was president of the APS, just 40 years ago, he observed that, fortunately for the society, it was impossible for a president to do any great damage in a one-year term. We now have to reassess this observation. Because of the untimely death of my intended successor, George Vineyard, I have had two years to inflict havoc and chaos. Happily, the more permanent staff of the society—Bill Havens, Harry Lustig, Miriam Forman and Bob Park—are all deft at damage-limiting techniques, and the society has survived, rather well I think, even two years of a transient president.
