in memorium

Seems like too much death. Last week a memorial service for one of Time Inc.'s great editors, Pat Ryan. This week one for Mary Simons. And we had already lost Judy Daniels. That's three women who made it in the man's world of Time Inc.— a fact mentioned in every one of these obits.  The only good thing about these memorials is seeing everyone who is still walking around. It was also gratifying to see Time Inc. host a major do for Pat, who was summarily fired as the editor of Life for being partnered with the wrong man, an editor of Time and Sports Illustrated who was a rival of one of the Powers That Were. Not mentioning any names.
