( - )
teacher which is apparently the pen name of Michael Steuben, a teacher since 1975, and author of a book of anecdotes, Twenty Years Before the Blackboard(1998). The obvious clue is the line in this book: 'Noitaton Hsilop esrever diova! E. Kim Nebeuts.' This is the reverse of 'Avoid reverse polish notation! Mike Steuben.'

In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
