I pause for several minutes' silence on the passing of one of USA's greatest
intellectuals, IMO, Susan Sontag. Her initial book, Against Interpretation,
was seminal. Her screenplays were deep. Her novels and short fiction failed
to move me, frankly. But I read every single thing she wrote, and happened
once to be in Berkeley when she was signing books in a bookstore. I met her
then, and only for five or so minutes, but after reading her and meeting her
however briefly I would happily place her in the "Fuller Top 10 American
Intellectuals of the 20th Century".

She will be missed.

Arthur
