...humanity-a talent that made many an aging visitor stop, catch his breath and murmur: "Ah, that is the way I knew him too." Nosed Out by a Girl. The show in Munich was brought together this month to honor the centennial of Pasternak's birth in Odessa in 1862. His ambitious parents wanted him to be a doctor, scratched together enough to send him to medical school in Moscow.
