Welcome to my Memoirs (i.e. my version of Mr. Peabody’s WABAC machine). To navigate this website, simply click Table of Contents to get started, and thence you can read whichever section(s) that appeals to you. However, I earnestly recommend that you skip neither the Forward nor the Introduction, as they offer a sense of how I view my life, which then drove how I organized these memoirs. This site is unusual in that it is not interactive – rather it is simply my way of getting a story out so that folks don’t have to pay for it. But if you have any questions, please contact me at rz@berkeley.edu. (I plan to maintain this site only until the end of 2027).

*Perhaps the most definitive example of this is found in Chapter 7, Section 5.
