How much of that book do you think is the literal truth and how much do you think was embellished? When I read it my impression is that Feynmann is the kind of storyteller that doesn't let the boring real life details get in the way of a good story. Some of it is completely believable, like the general telling people to never have their safes open when he is around, but others came across as a bit fanciful to me, especially when he started talking about women. I'm guessing every story has at least a grain of truth in it, but I would like to hear perspectives from the other people in the stories.

Is this not an undesirable trait in non fiction stories?
