[math-fun] FYI: re New Yorker article on the Poincare conjecture, Pereleman, S.T. Yau, etc.

The article in the New Yorker by Sylvia Nasar and David Gruber < http://www.newyorker.com/fact/content/articles/060828fa_fact2 > is apparently not the last word on the subject. Lawyers have now sent an 12-page letter < http://www.doctoryau.com/9.18.06.pdf > purporting to rebut a number of things cited in the article as fact. A blogger, Mark Liberman, Prof. in the U Penn CS dept. (with Erdos number = 3) posted the following comment: < http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/003608.html#more >. --Dan
