More Brain Wars: Geometry vs. Algebra

[David Casseres]

Heh! N. Bourbaki, whatta story.  Many years ago I edited parts of a math
paper by one Constantin Kockinos.  The paper had numerous citations of
Bourbaki, and I still remember the entry for him in the bibliography:

"Like many-headed Cerberus guarding the gates of Hell, N. Bourbaki stands at
the entry to the Temple of Mathematics, and all who would enter must pass
before him."

Kockinos was a pretty interesting guy.
