Re: Meanwhile
You remind me of when Rutherford was interviewed by a newspaper. His one time lab assistant, Pye, was by then very rich on the proceeds of his eponymous company. Rutherford was asked how much a professor earned and gave a number - I think around £400 a year, probably around £100k at today's rates.
He was asked if he was envious of Pye, who had risen from lab technician to millionaire.
"Of course not," said Rutherford, "think of the awful people you have to deal with in business."
(I may not have this exactly right but the gist is surely correct; we were told it by a professor at the Cavendish.
