Another Harvard Loss Historian and Harvard alum Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., has died of a heart attack he suffered while eating at a Manhattan restaurant. As the Times obit linked to above shows, Schlesinger led quite a life, and he seemed to have chronicled every bit of it.

Schlesinger's death marks one more sign that the Kennedy era in America really is over.... Sometimes one forgets that Teddy Kennedy is actually alive, and Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg is more interested in being correct than being important. Bobby Kennedy, Jr., does good work, and so does documentarian Rory Kennedy, but it's not quite the same, is it?  ¶ 10:29 AM
