  I missed this news earlier, but legendary early OS and computer architecture researcher Jack Dennis died in March. He was at MIT from 1949 -- before their first computer! -- until retirement and beyond, and did pioneering work on hardware support for time-sharing on the PDP-1 and on the memory and protection architecture of Multics.

  From one of FDR's Fireside Chats: "Do not let any calamity-howling executive with an income of $1,000 a day, who has been turning his employees over to the Government relief rolls in order to preserve his company's undistributed reserves, tell you—using his stockholders' money to pay the postage for his personal opinions—that a wage of $11 a week is going to have a disastrous effect on all American industry" Good thing we have progressed so far since 1938 that this no lon...

  When my mom started medical school, the dean gathered everyone in the auditorium and announced "I've been forced to admit three women into this class, but I want everyone to know that they took a spot away from a qualified man." Fifty-something years later, my dad just got his latest batch of cardiology fellows, residents, and interns -- and every one of them is female.
