Abstract

In recalling my 40-year friendship with Cliff Swartz, there are naturally a great many interesting anecdotes I could relate. But as amusing or poignant as they might be, they would tend to be rather disjointed-you could never tell what Cliff might do or think of next-without some overarching theme. Accordingly, since this is a magazine about teaching physics, I will concentrate on Cliff 's teaching style and some of the many devices he used to enhance it.
