Re: [Cz-L] Czernowitz by air

About Prof. Emanuel Merdinger:
He was the head of the Illinois Academy of Science in 1978, when he
presented Elena Ceaucescu with an "DR.Honoris Causa"
To thank him she referred to him as a "dirty Jew".

Since her whole academic career was a fake, I wonder what made him
award her this honor, which she most certainly was not qualified to get.
