Tra tutte le menti geniali che la scienza ha raccolto, quella di John Forbes Nash è stata la più vicina alla solitudine profonda, conseguenza prima di un carattere difficile, poi di una malattia - la schizofrenia - tanto invasiva da aver compromesso per molti anni la sua carriera e la sua vita privata. Definito come il matematico più geniale degli ultimi decenni, John Nash si differenziava per molti aspetti da tutti coloro che aveva attorno. La sua personalità solitaria e distaccata e le difficoltà nel capire ed esprimere i sentimenti lo isolarono nel corso degli anni.

Here's a biographical profile of Charles Nash, an American automobile tycoon who died in 1948 in the tony city of Beverly Hills, California, leaving an estate of approximately $50 million.

Unimaginable today, a court indentured the six-year-old to a Michigan farmer to work for room and board until he was 21.

Following their vision of comfortable, fitted T-shirts, they set up shop in Gela’s one-bedroom Hollywood apartment with $200 and one rule: Whatever they did, they both had to be obsessed by it. Pam and Gela eventually sold their company to Liz Claiborne for $50 million, but not before they created a whole new genre of casual clothing that came to define California cool.
