================= HES POSTING =================
I also had one personal encounter with Stigler. I was invited by the SF
Fed to have lunch with him. I was to be the token outsider, the rest of
the party consisting of friends or colleagues of his.
At lunch, he was charming and open. I enjoyed his company. Afterwards, he
gave a lecture. I asked a question. His response was intolerant.
The contrast took me back. Here was a nice guy. You could even have an
open talk in private, but in the open his private views should not be
challenged.
