Mathematician talk:Paul Erdős

I feel I should object to the description of the Erdos-Selberg conflict:

"I had questioned whether Erdos has the right to publish things which are admittedly Selberg’s [...] I really think that Erdos’s behavior is quite unreasonable, and if I were the responsible editor I think I would not be afraid of rejecting his paper in this form." --Weyl to Jacobson

Erdos-Selberg dispute.
