Interview with John Nash and his second son (also named John Nash, born in 1959) who is also a schizophrenic math genius.
The son lived with and was cared for by his parents, according to one source.
Over spring break we visited the NSA’s National Cryptologic Museum. (OK, say what you will about the NSA, but it’s an interesting museum.)

The letters are declassified and available on the web. My computer hacker son was fascinated.

I’m guilty I don’t wear seat belts in taxis. I will from this day forward.
