My appointment was approved only after Prof saw that I was a fair volleyball player, able to approximate the skills of Andrew Szent-Gyorgyi on the opposite team. Through the resourcefulness of Mar- tha Szent-Gyorgyi. I was allowed to take food home ev- ery evening from the Institute's kitchen to my widowed mother. This little scientific community was a veritable shelter in the storm. I pursued my medical studies and also worked in research. Prof made us take English les- sons, secured opera tickets, and introduced us to promi- nent artists. The cultural, productive atmosphere made life bearable and hopeful again but, alas, it was not to last long. Although Prof was responsible for bringing me to the MBL for a few summers in the early 1950's, I did not work closely with him. Nevertheless, he often shared his thoughts with me and was happy to show me new color reactions, pouring solutions from one unlabelled test tube to the other with a youthful gleam in his eyes. What a magician he was—how often I wished that he would pull yet another rabbit from the hat! Laszlo Lorand was educated at the Universities of Szeged and Budapest. Hungary. While still a medical student, he joined the Institute of Biochemistry of Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, serving as Demonstrator from 1946 to 1948. He earned a in Bio- molecular Structure from the University of Leeds, England. in 1951 where he worked with Szent-Gyorgyi's good friend, W. T. Astbury, In 1952, Lorand moved to the United States, and in 1955 joined Nor- thwestern University where he now holds the rank of Professor of Biochemistry, Molecular Bi- ology and Cell Biology. Lorand's research interests lie at the interface between the ba- sic sciences and medicine. He investigated molecular aspec
