Famed social psychologist Robert Zajonc has died. Here is the NYT obit: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/07/education/07zajonc.html?_r=1&ref=obituaries
Here's something you probably didn't know about him: "In 1939, after the Nazis invaded Poland and headed toward [Zajons' hometown of] Lodz, he and his parents fled to Warsaw. There, the building in which they were staying was bombed, and Robert’s parents were killed. Robert woke up in a hospital, seriously injured. He attended an underground university in Warsaw before being dispatched to a labor camp in Germany. He escaped and, recaptured, was sent to a political prison in France. Escaping again, he joined the French Resistance and studied at the University of Paris. Reaching England in 1944, he worked as a translator for American forces in the European campaign."
