Before I left Los Alamos, I had one last project that I wanted to complete. The computer that Nick Meropolis had built was now operating, and it was my last chance to work on it. So for the few days(and nights) just before I left, Nick, Marshall Rosenbluth, Marshall’s wife Ariana, Mici[4], and I worked out and ran a program that used the repetitive application of probabilistic selection to describe a simple two dimensional model of liquid.
