[Origami] Origami Sighting

[Ray Takeuchi]

I have going through a wonderfully geeky book titled "Magical  
Mathematics" by authors Persi Diaconis, a Stanford mathematics and  
statistics professor and Ron Graham, a University of California, San  
Diego mathematics and computer science professor.  There is a section  
on Bob Neale with photographic folding instructions of a "beak  
puppet." The section goes on about his interest in origami and  
topology. The rest of the section is on a gambling confidence game  
called "The Endless Chain."

There is even a brief mention of the late Martin Kruskal mathematical  
physicist and son of Lillian Oppenheimer about a humorous story  
between and the late recreational mathematics genius  Martin Gardener.

cheers,
