daniel patrick moynihan, r.i.p.
The semester's at the boiling point and so my blogging efforts have slowed to a crawl, but for those of you who don't read the obits (or happened to miss this one amidst the war coverage), an important passing to note: Daniel Patrick Moynihan, thinker, scholar, and sometimes politician, died last Wednesday. I'm not one who normally quotes John McCain, but on this weekend's Meet the Press he commented that Moynihan was one of the few truly bipartisan members of Congress--one who wanted to do what he thought was right and effective, whether or not it meshed with the views espoused by his party's leadership.
Here are links to the obituary in The New York Times and to a list of articles published by the Times over the years. Truly a man to be missed.
