Yes, I read it back in the 1980s. It was a gift from the Tau Beta Pi Honor Society for admission in their society. There's little to nothing I remember of it though. I regret to say, I recall it being rather boorish.
Thanks, by the number of down votes I received, I wonder what ever happened to respecting the other person's opinion? It seems I have no right to take a different direction from the herd mentality and take a different path? Wow, get along lil' doggies. There's only one path. Now, take it!
Down votes are overrated. Kind of like a scowl from a passerby. Soon forgotten. The thing I remember most about Feynman was his dislike of authority. During his time trying to figure out how to blow up the world, there was, of course, tight security. All papers etc. had to be locked away in "secure" file cabinets nightly. These were no nonsense safes with S & G combination locks on them. He figured out how to open these safes by trial and error, figuring out their weaknesses. How close you had to be to the real number and it would still open, that kind of thing. It was a real taboo to leave your office with an open safe!!! He would go into the security officers office and open the safe and leave a note in it. Thought it was funny...... They hated him.
