Abstract
If a twentieth century version of Emerson’s Representative Men 1 were ever to be written, Jack Schwartz would be the subject of one of the chapters. The achievements in the exact sciences of the period that runs from roughly 1930 to 1990 may well remain unmatched in any foreseeable future. Jack Schwartz’ name will be remembered as a beacon of this age.
To Jack Schwartz on his sixty-fifth birthday
