I took 8.07 in fall of '87 with Goldstone.  That sounds just like him.
(Has he gotten a new shirt yet? :-)

My favorite Goldstone quote:

<Explaining some notational choice>: ``You don't want to do it this way,
because if I do it that way, I'll only have a 30% chance of getting the
sign right, and you'll only have a 10% chance of getting it right.''

(I don't recall anyone being insulted by this statement. :-)
