Found the book "The Emperor's New Mind" by Roger Penrose, as recommended by an xys article. Then found the foreword by Martin Gardner, the God Father of entertaining math. Then thinking...this book should have some impact when published. Thus check the NYBR's archive.
Guess who wrote the review?
John Maynard Smith.
Something like finding (the non-existent) Jascha Heifetz, Pablo Casals, Vladimir Horowitz playing Beethoven's Triple Concerto under Arturo Toscanini. At least, at least, at least, I have David Oistrach, Mstislav Rostropovich, and Sviatoslav Richter playing the same repetoire under Herbert Von Karajan.
That piece must go with that book...
