ERIC CORNELL: We didn't want to close down the lab or clean up our lab or put up posters, we wanted to work very hard. So the senior dignitaries in the three piece suits, and so on, came into the lab, and we left the lights off, and everyone continued to work. And I made them keep their voices down and talked to them rather in a hurried way and then sort of shuffled them out the door. And they all had a slightly puzzled look on their face, because it probably had never happened to them before, in their history of being a visiting committee, that they were treated with as little, little pomp.
