Last May, I wrote a piece about Otto Neugebauer and the founding of Mathematical Reviews. I find Neugebauer’s story compelling. A revised version of that blog post was published in the October 2020 issue of the Notices of the American Mathematical Society. Since I had the benefit of an editor, this version is undoubtedly better. It is available here.
