Reuben said he was working on a biography of Peter Lax (his advisor). Does anyone know if he ever finished it?

An aside. The first national math meeting I attended was in 1966. It was in San Francisco and I was at Stanford. It was where I finally was able to put faces to names. Peter Lax was one of the first ones I saw — his chin was unmistakable.

He talks about all kinds of good stuff: the work of Richtmyer, solutions,
nonlinear approximations, carving semi-groups from unitary Lie groups in the
study of scattering, and surprisingly the Riemann hypothesis in terms of
decaying signals!
