                            Generating Anecdotes

     � � � � Almost without fail, whenever Feynman's name came up in
     private conversation, Murray Gell-Mann would inevitably remark,
     "He's always concerned with generating anecdotes about himself."
     In fact, there was some truth to Gell-Mann's remarks. On one
     occasion Feynman and I attended a physics lecture by a visiting
     professor. We got there early and took the front row seats.
     Feynman noticed that the lecturer had left his notes on the seat
     beside him. Feynman proceeded to look through the notes, and I
     could see that he was registering what he was reading. He put the
     notes back down and the professor came back in. During the course
     of the lecture, the professor stated, "I have spent a considerable
     time working out the derivation of this particular formula..."
     Feynman stated, "Ahh, the solution is obvious! It's....." The
     professor, and the rest of the audience for that matter, was
     dumbfounded as Feynman, who appeared to be giving an answer off
     the cuff, gave the solution. As we left the lecture, I turned to
     Feynman and gave him a knowing look. He smiled back.
