“The work for which I am being honored was done in collaboration with Amos Tversky; he and I had a lot of fun studying judgment and decision-making together. For fifteen years, I had the exceptional joy of being part-owner of a mind that was much better than my mind, and I think Amos felt the same way. We somehow were better together than we were singly.”
