Line 41: − − It was only after the fall of the [[Soviet Union]], in 1991, when the files of the KGB opened to researchers that it was discovered that Flato had been spying for the Soviets in the 1940's.
→Later Life
Two years after Flato's death, Francis M. O’Brien, gave a lecture at the Portland Public Library as part of the Anthoensen Press Lecture Series. He gave a colorful description of Flato saying that, ''"Flato, not much more than three feet in height, with a hunchback and crippled legs, was a colorful man with a beard, who wore a broad-brimmed black fedora and a black cloak and got around with the aid of a walking stick, with which he would whack people who got in his way. He had great wit, had written for the Hound and Horn, a leading quarterly of the time, and was an authority on Brady photographs."''<ref>''Books About Bookselling: A Backward Look''</ref>
