I had the pleasure to host Tom in Cambridge (UK) back in March - a delight for me personally, as an enthusiastic admirer of his deterrence work since my first year of graduate school. He was a font of energy: not only did he and Alice fly transatlantic for only three nights to grace us with a guest lecture, they also revisited old haunts (Tom having first visited Cambridge in the late 1940s while on the staff of the Marshall Plan), read and commented on a half-baked paper of mine, displayed sparkling wit while being mobbed by academic fans, and stayed in the College bar speaking to students late into the night. He was a testament to the colossal, generous minds that America can still produce. His guest lecture for us at Darwin College, "The Prisoners' Dilemma: An Unsympathetic Critique" - for anyone who'd like to see it - is available here: https://sms.cam.ac.uk/media/2196900.
