You can be proud of this one: 70-year-old New Jersey Institute of Technology professor Vladislav Goldberg has helped solve a mathematical riddle once called “hopeless” by Nazi mathmetician Wilhem Blaschke.

But elsewhere in the news, it’s a shanda over Boaz Benmoshe and Ofer Moses Lupovitz, arrested for “pimping, pandering, perjury, loan fraud, money laundering, falsifying income tax returns and grand theft.”

Sad that Goldberg’s mother isn’t around anymore to kvell over her son’s accomplishments. Lord knows what Benmoshe’s and Lupovitz’s will have to suffer at the next Hadassah meeting.
