Theory: The New Troubleshooter As the brightest hopes for the future become the least viable, the emphasis on competition in the human resources area has faded to oblivion for me. We stopped at Warner Robins, Georgia to look in on the museum there. I got a chance to meet the first production example of the F-15 "Eagle" and to tell the desk that I first met this program in 1969 as a 1-1/2 inch stack of IBM cards. (The F-100 engine was another about 3 inch stack; and the whole thing was called "FX".) My contribution is summarized in the lead in to this paragraph. That was how I exited in December of 1980. Albert Einstein had become a hands on guy. In today's world he would have a "work station" and be paid by the hour. He would be looked down on for not being able to type 25 words a minute error free. I had begun powering down my dependence on high powered matehmatics in 1974 as I began to use graphics more. Then in 1989, I finally dug into the complaint that "physicists turn statistical artifacts and hardware characteristics into a theory of phenomena." Was it all an ephemera? A ghost of departed energy? The tenure track had ended in 1983. I was in the overrun into the corn field.
