Finally got around to reading this... Excellent find, Mike! I wonder if interviews like this were recorded. Probably not, I'm guessing. I just wish I could hear the stories Fats told the reporter!

Neat. Fats' description of algebra sounds more like predicate calculus, I never saw that until 2nd year university. No wonder he dropped out of high school!
