Re: E. Fermi stamp

[Bob Sciamanda <trebor@VELOCITY.NET>]

Re-examining my stamp and the photo Rick referred to, it seems that they
are both photos of Fermi standing in front of the same equations on the
same blackboard, but in different positions, and showing different parts
of the board-work.  In particular the stamp photo completely cuts off the
LHS of the equation in error.
