My sentiments entirely. And add, to the above, Jim's determination
to remain an activist. Few in academy today can approximate his
accomplishments. I'll really miss Jim's voice. I should have liked
him to live forever in the pink of health, always up for the good
fight (in politics as well as scholarship).
