Dear colleagues:

A moment of virtual silence is perhaps in order to mark the passing of 
a great historian, albeit not one who dealt specifically with Virginia:

 From the AP:

"Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and 
Kennedy insider who helped define mainstream liberalism during the Cold 
War and remained an eminent public thinker into the 21st century, has 
died, his son said.  He was 89.

Schlesinger suffered a heart attack while dining out with family 
members Wednesday night in Manhattan, Stephen Schlesinger said.  He was 
taken to New York Downtown Hospital, where he died."
