Manuel’s Words

(November 14, 2000, translated from the Spanish)

Of course we voted! And of course we all voted for ……! Both Democratic and Republican organizations here in Germany were very active this year. Maybe they smelled trouble beforehand.

(May 19, 2001. After former Miss Universe Cecilia Bolocco—at the time married to Carlos Menem, former president of Argentina—apologized for wearing a dress with the Argentine flag colors. Translated from the Spanish.)

In the US this would be protected symbolic speech by some Amendment I don’t remember. But don’t try it in Arizona. You could be lynched there, with or without Amendment.

By the way, did you read (Mario Vargas Llosa’s) “The Feast of the Goat”? It’s fantastic. Besides, I remember very well some of the events he describes, and they are told accurately.

(August 7, 2003. Writing as honorary Chairman of the 27th International Conference on the Physics of Semiconductors, held in Flagstaff, USA in 2004)

Thanks for the picture of ICPS. It certainly should be projected at the opening session and maybe left in the large auditorium the first day. Most of the participants are dead (they could be easily identified). I think that those days the average age of semiconductor physicists was higher than now.

Two comments.1.Concerning the proceedings. The cd publication of Edinburgh has not been received very well. I do not even know how to cite a paper in the cd, no index in print. I hope you plan hardcopy publication.
