My colleagues Bruce, Jane, Rog, Terry and John convey so clearly Bill's talents, temperament, and the contradictions of his nature. He was sincerely interested in so many aspects of life and somehow made me think harder and deeper than I imagined possible. He was intrigued and amused by the human condition, and this attitude was contagious, for which I am grateful. He will be missed.

Friends of Dennis might be interested to hear that he is portrayed in "The Post," the new film about the Washington Post's role in publishing the Pentagon Papers.  Dennis did indeed testify (unsuccessfully) that publication of information from that history of the Vietnam War threatened national security.  The New York Times summary of his role at the time can be found here:  https://mobile.nytimes.com/1971/06/22/archives/8-judges-to-sit-appeals-court-calls-vietnam-study-case-of-key.html

He was always kind, curious, open-hearted.

We worked together in Asia -- her dedication, imagination, and good humor sustained me.  Rest in peace Lorraine.

Burke was unfailingly interesting, with a lively mind and lovely disposition.  Students loved her and so did I.

I worked with Fritz on a Writers' Workshop, and read a draft of one of his novels.  A great talent and colleague--I'm sorry to hear he's no longer with us.
