«In closing I would simply mention that Nalimov and I probably brushed shoulders when I visited VINITI in 1961 during the time of the International Congress of Biochemistry. George E. Vladutz was in the audience as well. Then when I returned to the Moscow Book Fair from 1965 to 1977 we were able to meet and talk. These discussions led to the translation and publication by ISI Press of four of his books. During those interim years I was able to help him find a huge range of books which he rapidly absorbed.

I think I took greater satisfaction in being able to do this for one of the few geniuses I have encountered in my lifetime» (p. 307).
