• Nancy was scheduled to present our joint work at 3:30 Tuesday, in the first session scheduled, in the main room of the convention. Some organizing committee thought she would draw the biggest crowd of the week - relative to the other thrilling papers accepted, so they gave her the prize lead-off slot in the first group of three papers. Each presenter got a half hour.

It was like a rule. In fact, a lot of folks left early.

If there was space I might join her on the podium so I could be recognized, nod my approval, and humiliate anybody who dared to flummox her with a hostile question.
