Rene, the flimsiest of coincidences perhaps: very recently watched a TV
production of an extraordinary dramatisation (by Michael Frayn) of the
mythic meeting between Heisenberg and Bohr in 1941 at Bohr's home in
Copenhagen. Again tales of philosophy and politics and war and a certain
heroic sacrifice...

I might write again on this marvellous piece (I'm now rereading Heisenberg's
'Physics and Philosophy').
