As you may recall, he was approached to become the first President of the new Israel. He respectfully declined. His philosophical comments are gems of wisdom (too). Samples:

"Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction."

"As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

Table boy's opinions of Mr. E. are about as valid as Jerry Foulwell's on God.
