Went to dinner at Positano restaurant in Bethesda with Bob Gallo (part of
our years long tradition of dinner in Bethesda to “catch up” on what is going on.
Discussed the interesting topic of matching Bob, Luc Montagnier and me for nomination
for the Nobel prize for AIDS now that I have won the Lasker Award. It could be helpful
to Bob if I am on the “ticket” since there is no controversy connected with me and this

could make it a more desirable slate since the 2 of them alone always evokes memories of
controversy.
