Well, I certainly don't want to listen to Feynman screaming!

It loads.:smile:
 
This comes as a CD and book in
a set. I just checked it out of
the library. Feynman talks like
Jackie Mason. I wasn't expecting
that.
There's a long, interesting
sequence after the lecture is
over when a couple/three guys
come up and start asking quest-
ions. Feynman seems to have
forgotten he's still got his mike
on. Interesting to hear him in
this informal setting.
 
Feynman's voice is at once both entertaining and serious. Some of his lectures are so profoundly easy to follow that I occassionally find myself repeating some of his sentences in my head -- and they're in his New York accent.
