White was an excellent research mathematician. He worked on invariant theory, the geometry of curves and surfaces, algebraic curves and twisted curves ... blah blah .. (i put this up 'cos I'm interested in curves too!!)

Bobby, I like the '48 war, but I prefer the '67 war when Israel defeated everyone around them AND doubled in Land. That is an awesome war to have in SIX days!
