纽约石溪分校数学系教授Michael Anderson致丘先生信件: Nasar让我恶心!

我刚从欧洲结束10天的旅行回来，过去几天一直没有收email。
对于Nasar文章中所写的文字，我感到极为愤怒，非常震惊。他引用我所说的话完全是错误的，没有根据的。除了你所指出的以外，文章中还有其他不真实的地方。
今天晚上我已经给她留了电话与email，希望明天能够与她交谈，把问题向她说清楚。我希望他把我的这些话完全从文章中删除。这些话毫无意义可言，完全不包含什么实际的信息；我只把它看作是愚蠢的闲谈，根本不值得登上《纽约人》杂志的文章。目前，这期杂志还没有正式印刷，所以还有补救的机会。
我花了许多小时在电话里与S. Nasar讨论Perelman,Poincare等。可是我太天真地（现在感到极度恶心）相信这个记者会真实地报道我所说的话。
我很抱歉这些话居然被放到了我的嘴里，我会尽全力把它删除的。
在我获得更多信息后，会随时通知您。

Michael

>> Dear Yau,

>> I just returned earlier today from 10 days in Europe, and

>> I am furious, and completely shocked, at what Sylvia Nasar

>> I have left her phone and email messages this evening and
>> hope to speak to her tomorrow at the latest to clear this up. I want
>> her to remove this statement completely from the article. It serves
>> no purpose and contains no factual inxxxxation; I view it as stupid
>> gossip unworthy of a paper like the New Yorker. At the moment, the
>> print version has not appeared and so it might be possible to fix
>> this still.
>> I spent several hours with S. Nasar on the phone talking
>> about Perelman, Poincare, etc but it seems I was too naive (and
>> I'm now disgusted) in believing this journalist would report factually.
>> I regret very much this quote falsely attributed to me
>> and will do whatever I can to have it removed.
>> I will keep you inxxxxed as I know more.

>> Yours, Michael
