How an intelligent Cornell undergrad (schar.gmu.edu/profiles/lshelley) who started out as a major in physics decided that physics is not for her:
"On Kinoshita, I remember him suffering with my physics section of elementary physics. There were 4 boys and me, Having such a clearly brilliant "teaching assistant" was an absolutely intimidating experience. The professor for the course was Dave Cassel. Kinoshita was not the kind of person to whom one could say, this is not clear to me. Outcome of all of this, I am not a physicist. Probably, a wise decision for all."
Tom made her choose the life of crime for ever after that fateful recitation section.
