It was Focardi, not Levi. I think Rossi wanted to reveal some of his work, to some extent, to attract some attention, but not too much. See: fan dance. Focardi is an important guy in Italian physics, by the way. His need to attract customers also forced some minimal level of revelation. > But Rossi always wanted to keep this info flow to a minimum. > Exactly. Jim Patterson had the same plan. It did not work in his case. I have to grant, it seems to be working pretty well for Rossi. He is an amazing guy. I assume he has picked this strategy because he is having trouble getting a patent. I recently suggested to him that he consider asking the U.S. Congress or some agency such as the DoD for special consideration regarding a patent. The Congress has stepped in to clear up patent disputes in the past, especially in 1917 to clear up the aviation patent mess, during the war emergency. (I described that history here.)

Rossi may have abandoned his plans with U. of P. He often changes his mind and his plans. He is mercurial. That is an old word, defined as: Adjective:(of a person) Subject to sudden or unpredictable changes.Noun:A drug or other compound containing mercury.Synonyms: fickle - Jed
