Dear all -

I've been looking Jerry Friedman's timeline for PF and it reminded me
two questions I would like to ask:

a) Is it conseivable that (in 1959) a passenger could have
a gun on him (or in his luggage) during a transatlantic flight
(if Gradus was a real person,could he bring a gun with him
without problems)?

b) What could mean the parallel "Izumrudov"/ Emerald
(Izumrud = Emerald in russian).

Best regards,

Sergei Soloviev
