I hate soccer.
This is a story about a soccer ball.
Margalit Fox, one of the NYT obit writers, is leaving the paper. And the Times graciously granted her a few column inches to say goodbye.
Today, the subject of the first advance I ever wrote, in 1995 — a major American scholar — is still going strong at 90-something. He remains, blast him, almost obscenely productive, forcing me to update his obituary several times a year.
I have a theory about who that might be…
(Also, Ms. Fox’s new book sounds pretty interesting. I intend to keep an eye open.)
