He was also a life-long advocate of the 'nuclear-deterrent'.
One of Teller's final acheivements was to push G.W. Bush to drop out of the
1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty (ABM), paving the way for the development
of a Star Wars-type anti-missile defense.

I was invited to his home in 1973 as a high school senior competing for
a math/science scholarship. He asked the "resistance across 1 resistor
in an infinite square grid of 1 ohm resistors" puzzle and I choked.
Missed the scholarship, but never forgot the encounter. Sorry to
hear he passed away.
