Abstract
A WARY man hesitates to cross swords with a skilful fencer, but it is cowardly to decline to face difficulties.

Why does not the electron explode? However, he is probably prepared, like the rest of us, to accept Nature as we find it, and the paths that we follow are forced upon us rather than chosen.
