  The telephone lay in pieces on George Cowan's office desk in the basement of Princeton's physics building. It was his first day as a graduate student in the fall of 1941. This memoir is his eyewitness account of how science works and how scientists, as human beings, work as well. It also discusses his career in nuclear physics.
