Damn.... I knew Majorie through friends, and had met her on a couple of occasions at DC cocktail parties and events, but I can't actually call her a personal friend. I first met her at a party or two back in the late 90's when my social circle was centered around the Washington Post, State Dept., and World Bank types.
Despite my brief encounters with her, and knowing her colleagues, I can't imagine a more fitting tribute than Jack Shafer's obit.
