On Tuesday I shared this information with students in my advanced writing class at the U of Nebraska-Lincoln, since many of them are from Nebraska ranch country and wrote, in a recent assignment, about how the Sandhills provide them with such a strong sense of place.

Those institutions / policies included decentralization and federalism, freedom of enterprise, labor, and trade, and high state capacity in fields where the government does act, such as infrastructure and social welfare. Peace helped indirectly (no wartime domestic czars!) as well as directly.

I remain impressed by the quality of the scripts for the LEGION OF SUPERHEROES in the '60s. I still have several of those books. Featured teen heroes

I just saw the news and hunted for your bsky account to say I immediately thought of you and am sad at this news. I know Jules Feiffer was a friend and a major influence for you. RIP
