Losses

Many are mourning the death this week of William Stuntz, Harvard Law School, who touched so many through his compelling work and his extraordinary and reflective public engagement.  He died this week at the age of 52.

After the loss of Kay Mills, another unexpected and untimely death of a biographer.  Hazel Rowley died earlier this month at the age of 59.  Smart, witty, and full of life, she authored Richard Wright: The Life and Times; Franklin and Eleanor:  An Extraordinary Marriage, and other works.
