MIT professor's hack to recruit students
Ah, so Jerry Lettvin died.<p>I took a couple of courses from him as an undergrad.  He was quite a character.  Here's a Jerry quote for you: "The brain is not a computer.  The brain is a gland."  I don't even know if he believed that, but he loved to stir controversy -- and announcing this at the MIT AI Lab c. 1982 certainly accomplished that!<p>I would say "RIP", but he probably already has his lab set up and is hard at work, wherever he is :-)
