Further evidence of him being a real, true, really great _person_: <a href="http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/5639" rel="nofollow">his 1997 interview on Charlie Rose</a>. So perfect.

Greatest tutor in the world.<br /><br />There was a crazy ex-lawyer dude in my old neighborhood who rode around on a bicycle, did odd jobs and lived in somebody's attic.
