I especially like the final quotation from Sanford Smith... "you
shouldn't have to work that hard to make physics exciting, because ... "
- he pauses, on the edge of the great unmentionable - "it is exciting.
You just need to know enough about it."
That seems a difficult hurdle... Getting students sufficiently into
physics that they see the excitement.
