A Firefighter's Theorem

Barry Cipra e-mailed me to pass along this article, which is pretty neat! (It also has a human interest story behind it.) It just appeared online in The New Yorker and should appear in the print copy next week.

(For those who recognize the name, I know Barry Cipra from mathematics conferences. He is also a Caltech alum; he was a member of Ricketts House.)
