I am moved, perhaps too much, by the deaths and lives of people who were more or less of my parents' generation. Grace Paley, Ralph DiGia [I went to Ralph's send-off Saturday: Hundreds of friends, family, photos, food, booze, schmooze, (true?) stories. See some on his website.], blacklisted film-maker Jules Dassin (More about Dassin's remarkable life and work here), Spanish Civil War Veteran Abe Osheroff . (More about Osheroff here.)

In addition to feeling of loss, reports of the deaths of people in my own cohort bring also the sound of "time's winged chariot hurrying near." Hanon Reznikov,57, who died a few days ago, following a stroke in April, was a long-time co-director of TheLiving Theatre. A long-time lover of Judith Malina, he married her on the 1985 death her husband, Living Theatre co-founder Julian Beck. The May 9, NY Times obit is here (See also this obit , This story from the Villager about The Living Theatre's new home on Clinton Street, this interview with Reznikov and Judith Malina and this YouTube of the two of them.
