Co-chair emeritus of the Econ Dept and DEEP Keynesian. Loved that woman. Once said (latter Reagan years), "You want to fix the government, put this Bubbe in the whitehouse and make them come to me to ask permission for every thin dime" </brooklyn accent>

She would have done it, too. I wish I had paid more attention to her positions and not just her engaging personality. Who knew - she was a lone wolf, but she was right.

Nice to 'meet' someone else who has been there.
