Just wanted to throw up a tribute to my favorite professor of my mid-70s days here ...

From the Obituary:
Jim was an Air Force veteran of the Vietnam War and attained his Ph.D. in political science from the University of Missouri. Jim spent his entire teaching career in the political science department at Valparaiso University, where he influenced the lives of countless students, many of whom kept in touch with him for the rest of his life.
Indeed.
His enthusiastic, funny, and insightful lecturing made him one of my favorite VU professors. RIP, indeed.
