"The subject of K -theory takes its name from a 1957 construction of 
Alexander Grothendieck which appeared in the 
Grothendieck–Riemann–Roch theorem, his generalization of
Hirzebruch's theorem.^[2] Let X  be a smooth algebraic variety.
To each vector bundle on X , Grothendieck associates an invariant, its class .
The set of all classes on X  was called K(X)  from the German Klasse ."

"Bowden applied what he viewed as the lessons of the battlefield
to the football field. While bedridden with rheumatic fever at age 13,
he had listened to radio broadcasts telling of World War II battles,
and he later studied the campaigns of Patton, MacArthur and
Germany’s Erwin Rommel.

'They all demonstrate discipline,' Bowden once said, 'and that you
need reserves so that if you’re getting annihilated on one front, you
can attack somewhere else.' ” — Richard Goldstein

Requiem for a Wechsler —

"Lighting for the Met is particularly challenging because —
unlike on Broadway, for instance — the shows change
on a weekly or even daily basis. One of Mr. Wechsler’s
accomplishments, Mr. Sardo said, was to develop
accurate records of the lighting schemes for each production,
so that one show could be swapped for another more efficiently.

“Before Gil was involved, there were no reference manuals as to
how that should be done,” Mr. Sardo said. 

“Someone kinda remembered how the lighting was supposed to be.”
