At least my T-shirt can say 'nuclear'

By Alyson Brodsy and Teri Rosenbaum · Sunday, Oct. 15,2006 10:44 p.m.

By K. A. MacDonald · Wednesday, Oct. 11,2006 11:02 p.m.

There are some books that simply beg to be read. "Schrödinger's Ball" by Adam Felber of "Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me" fame should be one of those books. If you are not a fan of "Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me," this book might not be for you.

So it seems fitting that the twin worlds of fame and fortune are honoring him this month on the Rodeo Walk of Style, one of the ritziest and most high-profile shopping streets in the world.
