      • "Wonderful to see Colin Powell, who made big mistakes on Iraq and famously, so-called weapons of mass destruction, be treated in death so beautifully by the Fake News Media," Trump said in a statement released Tuesday morning. "Hope that happens to me someday. He was a classic RINO, if even that, always being the first to attack other Republicans. He made plenty of mistakes, but anyway, may he rest in peace!"

                • Michael Fisher died a couple of days ago. He was a professor while I was a student at UMD (working as a professor for ~54 years before retirement in 2012). He was one of the main contributors to statistical physics and the study of phase transitions (like liquid to solid) where he showed that the thermodynamic properties near the phase transition only depend on the limited number of features (dimension and symmetry) and not on the microscopic properties of the system.

                  He received the Wolf prize in 1980 among others.

                  I remember that his course was clearer on renormalization then the discussion in particle physics courses.

                  • Former U.S. senator Bob Dole dies at age 98

                    Longtime prominent Republican sought the presidency 3 times

                    Bob Dole, who overcame grievous Second World War combat wounds to become a pre-eminent figure in U.S. politics as a longtime Republican senator from Kansas and his party's unsuccessful 1996 presidential nominee, died on Sunday. He was 98.

                    Dole, known for a wit that ranged from self-deprecating to caustic, died in his sleep, the Elizabeth Dole Foundation said. Dole announced in February that he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer and would begin treatment.

                    Bob Dole, who overcame disabling war wounds to become a sharp-tongued U.S. Senate leader from Kansas, a Republican presidential candidate and then a symbol and celebrant of his dwindling generation of Second World War veterans, has died. He was 98.
