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 [1] [I went to Ralph's send-off Saturday: Hundreds of friends, family, photos, food, booze, schmooze, (true?) stories. See some on his website [2].], blacklisted film-maker Jules Dassin [3] (More about Dassin's remarkable life and work here [4]), Spanish Civil War Veteran Abe Osheroff . [5] (More about Osheroff here. [6])
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, [7]57, who died a few days ago, following a stroke in April, was a long-time co-director of TheLiving Theatre [8]. 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 [9](See also this obit [10], This story from the Villager about The Living Theatre's new home on Clinton Street, this interview with Reznikov and Judith Malina [11] and this YouTube of the two of them.
