On the first day of class he told students if they wanted an 'A' grade they were going to have to work for it as he would be challenging his students in a way hey may not have been before. Some students left. I felt delighted.

Dr Gottlieb used the daily New York Times as our class text. He was concerned about the world, its problems, analysis of...

He was a special friend and we had some great times together over more than 40 years.
