quotation
While writing my book [Stochastic Processes] I had an argument with Feller[Introuction to Probability]. He asserted that everyone said ``random variable and I asserted that everyone said ``chance variable. We obviously had to use the same name in our books, so we decided the issue by a stochastic procedure. That is, we tossed for it and he won. </blockquote?
