If Eigen's hypotheses are the same as those in _Das Spiel_, Wilder
Smith's book deals with them in depth.

Aside to John Woods: What was it that AEWS said that MIT Freshlings
supposedly know better of? The people at the U of Illinois Medical

awards for best series/course of lectures) might like to know. Then
