Thanks, interesting story that I will pass on to my Dad (who worked with John von Neumann at the Institute for Advanced Study when he was young, and Edward Teller hired my Dad at Berkeley and they were life long friends).
My Dad says that von Neumann liked to play his music loud and work late at night with no interruptions. I remember Edward Teller coming to a costume party at our house and my Mom and one of her friends had a white bird costume for him to wear. He refused to wear the bird’s head, just wore the white wings. The next day in Herb Cain’s newspaper column he incorrectly talked about Edward Teller wearing an angel of peace costume.
