Hello John,

>LL>Dr. Adler was the editor of the 60 volume set, The Great Books of
>LL>the Western World, and also responsible for the Great Books
>LL>reading program. But you *knew* that...  :)

JW>It is my joy to have that set. It is a continual treasure, and a continual
JW>reminder of how far I have yet to go :-)

The Great Books of the Western World is a great collection,
although I do not have the set.  Wish I did, though.  :)

Dr. Adler was a prolific author, also being the editor of
the Encyclopaedia Brittanica, and Chairman of the Board of
Editors of the Encyclopaedia Brittanica.  He did not limit
himself to authoring books and editing encyclopedias, however,
having been the Director of the Institute of Philosophical
Research, and Honorary Trustee of the Aspen Institute for
Humanistic Studies.  Not to mention having been a professor
at several universities.  Truly a remarkable man, he will
be missed by many.
