Dear all,
I don't think I'd bought a copy of New Scientist in 20 years, but I did
last week; and when I opened it, I was amazed to discover that it
contained an account of Peter Johnstone's famous article on the Scott
topology...

In the 1981 Spring big math meeting in England -- held that year in
Oxford -- I walked with Dana to his home for dinner. Waiting there for
Dana was a guy from Springer with a copy of Peter's paper. Dana told him
that Peter had, of course, already given him a copy and, no, he had no
objections whatever; and didn't he want a drink anyway?
Best thoughts,
Peter
