They still looked alike, to the same degree that used to confuse me when I saw them across the net of a tennis court in Ann Arbor—and to the same degree, no doubt, that prompted their parents to give them their humorous middle names. I learned that they had become famous in the field of hotel management by contributing a sound mathematical development, based on studies made in their home country, Ergodia. The twins kindly loaned me a copy of a recent comprehensive report on their work.
