"I loved the night.  I think secretly all scientists exult in working
alone, surrounded by the urgent private quiet of the dark.  I remember
the exhilaration of working through the night in the lab, drinking
thick pasty coffee that had been on the burner for hours, walking out
into the sunrise, grabbing breakfast at a diner and watching the city
come to life.  To be doing something no one had ever done, to generate
rows amd columns of numbers that hinted at a solution to a problem no
one had ever solved ... to be alone and out on the edge like that,
there was no feeling like it in the world."
