As Andrew says, there’s a danger in reducing the dear departed to a handful of adjectives. I didn’t know Dorothy as well as he and others below did, but, aside from all the “kinds” and “sweets,” I’d like to say I always found her rather glamorous and tremendous fun. She was very considerate to me in the early days of my association with NR. I didn’t know a lot of people in the U.S. political commentariat back then and I was always very cheered, upon entering a roomful of total strangers, to see Dorothy beetling toward me — if somewhat mystified as to what I’d done to warrant the honor. She was grand company, and I shall miss her.
