This site suggests that it was Secretary of Agriculture Wallace who suggested to FDR that the Great Seal be placed on the back of the US One Dollar Bill: [http://www.greatseal.com/levels/fdr1935.html Wallace's letter to Dal Lee, February 6, 1951]. Is there a citation to show how it is Roerich's suggestion? — Alex756 17:11, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Sorry, you are absolutely right. I have corrected this error. I think. Please emend as needed of course! Wallace was a devotee of Roerich's. Google "Roerich Wallace Seal" for the connection. Caltrop 23:35, Feb 3, 2005 (UTC)

How could Roerich take his first painting classes in the same class with Shevchenko if Shevchenko died in 1861 and Roerich was born in 1874?

Also, I thought that Kobzar was Shevchenko's influential book of poems. Please correct me if Kostomarov has also written an influential book of poems under the same title.
