Tukey," Statistical Science, vol. 18, no. 3, p. 302 (quoting National Academy of Sciences president Philip Handler), "The nation and the Academy can count themselves fortunate that your integrated intelligence, insight, sound judgment, good taste, and unflappable reasonability were all available."”
