MIchigan大学讲座教授Smoller教授给New Yorker的信：
Nasar,你的信息是哪里来的？为什么不找其他数学家验证一下？你的行为使我想到纽约时报Jason Blair的丑闻,我为你感到羞耻。
这事闹这么大，都不用咱们这些小虾米出手了。这个作者（写A Beatiful Mind出了大名）实在被田刚悔了啊
〉Dear Ms Nasar:
> First let me say that I have been a subscriber to The New Yorker
> since the 1960's; I love the magazine, and read nearly all the
> articles every week.
>
>I am also a co-author of Yau's,?and since 1991, and we have
> written 18 joint papers.?Of course, not all of them are major
> breakthroughs, but at least 2 of them can be so designated: our 2000
> paper which appeared in Nuclear Physics B, and our 2006 paper which
> just appeared in the prestigious journal "Communications in
> Mathematical Physics".?It is extremely rare for mathematicians to get
> a paper published in a journal devoted to nuclear physics, and our
> 2006 paper solves a problem dealing with stability of Black-Holes,
> first elucidated by the Princeton physicist John Wheeler in 1957.?
> These papers ALONE demolish your statement that Yau has had no major
> results in the last 10 years.?How could you have made such a
> statement??Where did you get your information? Didn't you feel a
> responsibility to check your facts with other mathematicians??Your
> behavior reminds me of the Jason Blair scandal at the New York Times.?
> Shame on You!
> Sincerely yours,
> Joel?
