I was shocked to learn of Nat's death at the last Chamber Music Society concert of this year. I knew him through the ACLU and liked and respected him very much.

Nat inspired so many of us with his thoughtful, careful reasoning and impassioned eloquence. His wisdom grew from a sharp mind and keen appreciation of history. Always above reproach, Nat's amiable nature and considerate manner made him not only eminently likable but also powerfully persuasive. His presence will be missed but his impact will endure.
