Yesterday
I first met Sam thirty-five years ago, when I went to work for Newsweek. I vividly recall his cluttered office on Pennsylvania Avenue, where he banged out his columns on a manual typewriter. Books, articles, and economics working papers were strewn all over the place, but Sam had read much of it and was always eager to discuss what he had read. For many years, he managed to fend off suggestions that he write on a computer; thinking carefully about each word and each idea was important to him, and knocking out a column faster was of no interest at all. I learned much from Sam about how to explain economic ideas and how to reach readers. While he opined on many weighty topics, my favorite column explained his love of lawn mowing; it is, he wrote, "a form of community involvement that (mercifully) doesn't require that I be involved with anyone." Kay and I will miss Sam dearly, and we extend our condolences to Judy and the family.
