[CPM-SPIRE-L] Danny Breslauer

[Tao Jiang]

This is certainly a very sad news just Xmas! We collaborated on the
approximation of shortest superstrings many years ago and I still
vividly remember his brilliance in compressing a complex theorem
about peridic strings into a few simply formulas. I was an unaware 
of his recent illness. In fact, he shared with me a new idea about 
finally cracking the shortest superstring problem just a few years 
ago, and I was looking forward to hearing more from him! He will
always be remembered.
