Reuben said he was working on a biography of Peter Lax (his advisor). 
Does anyone know if he ever finished it?

An aside. The first national math meeting I attended was in 1966. It was 
in San Francisco and I was at Stanford. It was where I finally was able 
to put faces to names. Peter Lax was one of the first ones I saw — his 
chin was unmistakable.
