Ralph Lerner visited here for an evening lecture several years ago.
He was expensive, arrogant, but informative---about *his* work on *that*
project. The lecture was interesting, but the person was offensive to
many students.
When the prime minister was assassinated, the project also died.
A more intersting question for me would be, "How did the project
*become* an
'award-winning' project?" [It was a most interesting project, no
doubt.]
It is known that MK was the acquaintance/friend of the prime
minister-to-be
while at Harvard. That still fails to explain the "how."
