I had a second year at the Institute, then I won this National Science Foundation fellowship, which gave me two years anywhere I wanted to go and where I wanted to go was to Paris because I had never been to Paris. And I discovered that Gell-Mann was going to Paris, Murray, and he was the hottest thing in the field. We'd been to school together, although he was three years ahead of me at that time. And he came to the Institute and… because I'd done some work on stuff that he had done so he was interested in that. And he came and he talked and he said, 'Well, what are you doing next year?' I said, 'Well I'm going to Paris on my NSF'. And he said, 'Well, I'm going to be in Paris'. I said, 'Oh, that's good'. Then he said, 'Stick with me kid, I'll put you on Broadway', is what he said.
