I remember talks he gave at Berkeley around 1972. Attendance was large
and included Tarski and his wife. I think Y-V was accepting a job at
Buffalo at that time. I don't think he was well understood. He set up
1 = infinity  (or  in-FINE-ity) and rambled on for 3 hours with a
heavy accent and a stammer. Can you let me know if you hear anything
more about him? I am jas@uxv.larc.nasa.gov.
