ginny Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I don't know if I hadn't been introduced to decent theater and music how I would have turned out, so I do credit Rand - and not the dates who took me.Art can inspire the soul. I staged-managed a fabulous Australian play based on Kineally's The Playmaker. Kineally wrote Shindler's List. The Playmaker didn't make it big in the US, but I managed its Boston premiere. It's the true story of a British penal colony in Australia that puts on a play. The play shows how the harened characteres are changed by doing the play.

Answer: Benoit B Mandelbrot. Are my favorites by far. Goddamn it, I'm such a nerd... In his autobiography, Mandelbrot did not add a circumflex to the "i" (i.e. "î") in his first name. He included "B" as a middle initial. The New York Times obituary stated that "he added the middle initial himself, though it does not stand for a middle name".[1] But other sources suggest that he intended his middle initial B. to recursively mean Benoit B. Mandelbrot, thereby including a fractal (his mathematical discovery) in his own name.[2][3] extracted from the Wiki Article on Mandelbrot. In short the B is a fractal embedding.
