Friedberg's feat was to solve a problem, first posed by the late Emil Post of New York's City College in 1944, that has been baffling mathematicians ever since.

Tchaikovsky: Piano Concerto in B-Flat Minor (Emil Gilels; Chicago Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Fritz Reiner; Victor). Soviet Pianist Gilels in a splendid version of this oft-mauled work.

Jean Walter paid $113.000 to outbid Swiss Gun Manufacturer Emil Buhrle for a Cezanne still life, Pommes et Biscuits, at the 1952 Gabriel Cognacq sale in Paris...
