I don't remember the name of the book but it was for a collection of commentaries of the rishonim on some masechta - a kind of shita mekubetzes where one does not exist. And the Rov wrote that that the Rishonim who were cited knew more than he does so he doesn't understand why the author/collater asks him for a haskoma for the writings of the Rishonim. Larrie:

He may have told me which sefer this was but I'm afraid my memory from 1980 has been deleted. Perhaps some one else has heard of this ( apocryphal?) story.

What a combination of scholars. I wonder what would have happened if they were all in the same room together.

The other haskamos are from R' Moshe Feinstein, R' J I Ruderman, R' Yosef Kafih, and professors J J Rivlin and S D Goitein, and the dedication is to the Lubavitcher Rebbe. Quite the interesting lineup. He also gave a haskama to the shu”t haRif from the Copenhagen manuscript that were published in 1975 by the late R’ D Z Rothstein.

Not surprising and quite cool. The Quint project of freeing TOrah from its quaint aramaic/hebrew context and constraints works nicely with the Soloveitchik project. Not surprising and quite cool.
