Thanks, Ann, for forwarding the notice of Foote's death.

She taught one semester at Cornell when I was there, and I remember  
her vividly in that context. As I remember her, she had a bearing and  
manner of speech that to me seemed very proper and upper-class, and  
she somewhat shocked us when she regaled the seminar with examples of  
various situations of moral concern that were spelled out in  
wonderfully explicitly grizzly detail. Examples of beheadings,  
evisceratings and fabulous degrees of greed and all manner of other  
vices, all detailed with clear philosophical relevance and  
considerable humor.  I did love that seminar.  And I remember a few of  
the lessons learned.
