[edit] Old talk

It would be interesting to see Harary's political views documented. I distinctly remember him giving a bit of an anti-Pinochet diatribe in class one day. There were also rumors that Harary was a slumlord, or something along those lines. 0-0-0-Destruct-0 00:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I removed the following amusing but unreferenced story that can't be true as stated:

A story told by a graduate student has it that one day Harary boasted that he was so important he could submit any paper with his name on it and the paper would be published. To prove it he pulled out an empty sheet of paper, wrote the title "Is the Null Graph a Pointless Concept?" and submitted it. The paper was published! (I heard this story from the graduate student who was teaching an undergraduate course that I took).

The truth is that the paper was published, it is several pages long, and it discusses the question seriously (perhaps not too seriously). It has often been talked about jokingly but it is not completely pointless. (Sorry.) Zaslav 06:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Articles in "Bibiliography" section

Harary is an author of hundreds of articles. Hardly you are going to list all of them here. `'mikka 02:07, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
