My itinerary through the universities of Greater Europe has been as thorough and colorful as that of any Wandering Scholar of the Middle Ages. I have been blessed with the opportunity to play many roles in these descendants of the Scholia: faculty brat, prodigy, Wunderkind, drop-out, perpetual student, teacher, fellow, guest lecturer, persona non grata, gadfly and harmless drudge . My fervent hope is that this process of mutual enrichment will continue.

A dehumanized interest story.This unique account of guerrilla war within the scientific establishment, its many disasters and evanescent triumphs, could only have been written by someone who was there and lived through it!
