I’m afraid I have more sad personal news. My father-in-law William Winship died on Friday, 12 days after my mother-in-law Judith.

If Judith represented the changing face of the legal profession—a woman who wanted to be a lawyer her whole life but was discouraged by her parents, then put herself through law school in middle age and got an in-house job on Wall Street—then Bill was a throwback to an earlier, more genteel era.
