His focus then changed to the study streptomycine's mode of action. During Erdos' association with the Labora- toire d'Enzymologie, CNRS. Gif-sur-Yvette, France (1964- 1979). he studied the biology of reproduction. He continued his research on this subject in collabora- tion with A. Csapo at Washington University in St. Louis. Missouri, until Tamas Erdos for the central purpose of whatever he was about and had little patience for trivia. Yet he could illuminate complex ideas in simple, powerful language. As a friend, a neigh- bor, and a colleague he was a stimulating presence—si- multaneously considerate, assertive, and unforgettable. Irving M.
