ABSTRACT
Before our publication of (Hess and Philipp, 2004), my inaugural
paper for the National Academy of Sciences, Walter and I organized
a meeting at the Beckman Institute of the University of Illinois
to present all of our ideas and to discuss them with the experts.
The meeting was a disappointment for me, because not many
of the scientists who had criticized us came. Tony was present
and discussed his opposing views. I do not remember any other
discussions that we had not heard before, and the presentations that
Walter and I gaveweremathematically too complex. Our adversaries
did not like what we said; only our friends did. Andrei Khrennikov
and also Louis Marchildon were present and very supportive.
