I understood from Mike Anshel that he was rather proud of this, though of
course I never asked Dennis myself.
I wonder if Harvard would posthumously enter it in the books if someone
dropped off a bound copy now?
I imagine somehow Dennis wouldn't appreciate that.

Interesting fact is that Dennis never received his PhD because he failed
to provide a bound copy of his dissertation to the Harvard library.
