In 1987, in need of a job (my then employer, Antioch School of Law, was going bankrupt), I wrote him asking if he could make any suggestions. A few weeks later, he telephoned me telling me to go to George Mason University, where they were expanding the Institute for Conflict Analysis and Resolution. "It sounds like just the job for you," he said; "I have already talked to the sociologists there about you." <BR/><BR/>Incredible! I went over to Mason, was interviewed, and got the position that I now hold (and cherish): Prof. of Conflict Resolution and Public Affairs at George Mason. 21 years and 6 books later, I often think of how this man whom I never really knew blessed my life with a few thoughtful and selfless phone calls.
