他也是麻省理工学院(MIT)二战史上的重量级人物。如果你对这些感兴趣,可以看看《图克西多公园》(Tuxedo Park)。虽然书的主角是阿尔弗雷德·卢米斯,但那个时代的很多其他风云人物也都有出场。https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Tuxedo-Park/Jennet-Co...
He was also a big figure in MIT's WWII history. If you're interested in such things, check out "Tuxedo Park". The main focus of the book is Alfred Loomis, but quite a lot of the other characters of the era make appearances. https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Tuxedo-Park/Jennet-Co...
