Excerpts from Interview of Prof. K. S. Pitzer: Chemist and Administrator at UC Berkeley, President Rice University, President Stanford University, and the Director Atomic Energy Commission, 1935-1997
"K. Balasubramanian had joined me as a postdoc. I can remember him walking through the door and saying, "Balasubramanian is too long a name. Call me Balu." [laughs] His first name was Krishnan; he's obviously from India. He was a bundle of energy and a very agreeable young man.. We keep pretty close touch. I checked with the latest list of publications that he'd sent in, and he has over 340 papers, which for a man of his age [38] is well-nigh a record, far more than many people get in their entire career.
He's a very, very interesting person, and as I say, very successful by almost any standard."
" Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall" Oliver Goldsmith (Confucius)
