Abstract
Originally I was asked to talk about how it was in physics a long time ago when I was young. Indeed, physics was a little different from what it is now. I have decided to begin by telling you not about what I did in physics, which was not much, but about how I learned physics. I will finish just at the beginning of the second world war. Once a physicist, always a physicist. But after the beginning of the war, the world and physics never again were the same for me.
This work was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract No. W7405-Eng-48.
