She smiled quietly. You can't keep track of anything! Alice Miller met her future husband on January 9, , fifty-two years ago, when he was working at his first job after graduating from high school as a labourer for a hay, grain, lime and cement merchant.

That affection grew. The couple went together for six and a half years during the Depression while she studied the violin and worked as a housemaid and he went to university. I was a servant although on intellectual grounds I knew my physics as well as he knew his medicine. It was a master of the house and butler relationship.

Professor Miller then described some of the differences he had with his master — Miller seemed to win all the battles - and then noted he had never bowed or scraped to anyone since. I was not really under the thumb.

I did that which was required by the nature of the job. It would be like committing sin by silence when one should be heard. Eventually he did get a job at a Connecticut boys' school — Alice and he split up for the year - before moving on to a Negro university in New Orleans and then back into the mainstream of physics with a fellowship at the University of Idaho.

Professor Miller described the major influences on his life as his "momma and poppa, his teachers, Alice and the beauty of learning. As a child I was interested in everything," he said. Why the sunset is red. How a worm crawls back into the earth when he is ploughed up in a furrow. Why a brook gurgles. Anew, and one of them was 'Why does a brook gurgle'? She said,'I think a brook gurgles for my special pleasure. You wouldn'texpect me to put a shutter on the wind. Alice looked up from her book.

Describing his own teaching career he said he was glad he had been retired by the State of California in "because the academic scene ain't what it used to be. The rest I either drove out, or they decided to quit on their own because I would show no compassion unless they performed. The home is no more what it used to be. It doesn't control the children. It doesn't demand any responsibility from them, or if it does, the boys and girls go their own way without regard for the views of their parents.

The children of today are not morally responsible. That's what's needed most. But all was not darkness in the professor's sad conclusion. He does know of at least one school where education is being conducted on the right lines: the USAF Academy in Colorado where he runs a number of classes. They are also being well-schooled in their profession to fly planes. Still talking about the imminent collapse of Western civilisation, he said he believed the Americans should have paid someone to assassinate the Iranian groups holding American hostages as soon as they were taken.

I wondered if any of Professor Miller's well-schooled boys from Colorado had died in the desert there.
