Just a little more light shed on the whole Kohnstamm business: a good essay on World Hum by the always smart Robert Reid, who I also happen to know in passing through LP and other friends.
He has the empathy for Kohnstamm that most don’t (or aren’t willing to have), and he summarizes the small joys of doing the job that few people are mentioning at the moment (skip to the end).
The comments section is a bit odd: people seem unduly obsessed with his finances. It all boils down to getting hitched, folks–for that alone, I recommend it.
