Legendary Nuggets coach Doug Moe passes away at 87

 

He was not on the list.

A foundational piece of the Denver Nuggets franchise died Tuesday.

Doug Moe was 87. Moe coached the Nuggets from 1980-90 and won 432 regular-season games, a feat that’s celebrated with a banner hanging at Ball Arena. He led the Nuggets to the playoffs in nine consecutive years and reached the Western Conference finals in 1985. In 1988, he was named NBA Coach of the Year, and he received the Chuck Daly Lifetime Achievement Award in 2018.

After playing in Italy and the American Basketball Association from 1965-72, Moe started his coaching career as an assistant to close friend Larry Brown with the Carolina Cougars. He followed Brown to Denver in 1974 before being named head coach of the San Antonio Spurs in 1976.

Four years later, he brought his fast-paced brand of basketball back to Denver. The Brooklyn native finished his coaching career as an assistant to George Karl in 2008.

“Doug Moe was my big brother. I am sad today. I will miss him,” Karl posted on X Tuesday morning. “Love you forever Doug.”

Douglas Edwin Moe was born on September 21, 1938, in Brooklyn, New York. Growing up in the playground of Foster Park in the Flatbush section of town, he would play games six days a week in the place once called the "Stars' Park". He loved basketball so much that he would play in various church leagues under various assumed names (whether it was Protestant or Jewish). Moe attended and graduated from Erasmus Hall High School and attracted enough attention to be recruited to the University of North Carolina despite playing just one year of high school ball.

Moe was a star player at the University of North Carolina, where he was a two-time All-American.

Once, in 1961, Moe was on the same flight as former Vice President Richard Nixon while Moe played for the Tar Heels. Noted for his fear of flying, Moe tried to read a book to distract himself; when Nixon was introduced to Moe by a coach, he stated Moe must be the student in the group and Moe (unfamiliar with the person making the remark) remarked, "What are you, a wise guy?"

However, his collegiate career ended in controversy when he admitted to being associated with a point shaving scandal. Moe received $75 from fix conspirator Aaron Wagman to fly to a meeting in New Jersey, arranged by Moe's friend, conspirator Lou Brown, but Moe reportedly turned down an offer to throw games. There is no evidence that Moe was ever involved in a fix conspiracy, but his ties to the scandal blemished his reputation.

Moe was selected in the NBA draft in 1960, by the Detroit Pistons, and again in 1961, this time by the Chicago Packers,

When he went to sign with the Packers, the scandal broke out involving Moe, who was quoted as saying what he had done wrong "was to accept $75 from Aaron Wagman, a gambler, the summer before my senior year. He was after me to shave points but I refused." (Moe did not report the incident at the time). Moe subsequently spent time in the Army and sold insurance. He graduated from Elon College in 1965 in education.

In 1965, he began his professional career in Italy's Lega Basket Serie A with the Pallacanestro Petrarca Padova.

Moe, alongside fellow former Tar Heel and roommate Larry Brown, joined in with the newly formed American Basketball Association with the New Orleans Buccaneers in 1967 for $5,000. Moe played a season for the team, which reached the ABA Finals that saw him along with Brown to be named ABA All-Stars. In 78 games, he averaged 24.2 points with 10.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists. He finished second in the ABA MVP race, receiving three of the 22 first-place votes (Connie Hawkins received the rest of the vote). Just a few months after the season ended, Moe and Brown were traded to the Oakland Oaks for Ronald Franz, Steve Jones and Barry Leibowitz.

Moe, alongside Brown, was traded to the Oakland Oaks. In 75 games, he averaged 19.0 points with 8.2 rebounds and 2.0 assists and received small MVP consideration to go along with All-Star honors. They played for the Oaks during what became a magic run that saw them go from worst to first to reach the playoffs. They made it all the way to the ABA Finals against the Indiana Pacers. In Game 5, Moe made two free throws late to give the Oaks a three-point lead late in overtime before his teammate Brown made two more to give them an insurmountable 135-131 lead to clinch the game and the series.

On June 30, 1976, Moe was named head coach of the San Antonio Spurs, who were to be members of the NBA after the ABA–NBA merger that yea; he replaced Bob Bass. The Spurs started off slow that year but were ten games over .500 by February and managed to win 44 games with a high-scoring average of 115 points a game to go with allowing a league-worst 114 points a game; described as a "player's coach", the team captivated the town. They lost in the first round of the playoffs in two games. The following season was better for the team, as George Gervin won his first scoring title and the team won their first ever division title with a 52-30 record that was good enough for 2nd best in the Eastern Conference. They were shocked by the Washington Bullets, who beat them in six games.

They repeated as division champions in 1979 and beat the Philadelphia 76ers in the semifinals that year for their first ever playoff series win since moving to San Antonio. In the Conference Finals, they faced the Bullets and took three of the first four games but could not finish the deal, losing the decisive seventh game 107-105 to the eventual world champion.

The Spurs sputtered in the following season. Moe was fired by team owner Angelo Drossos with sixteen games to go in the 1979-80 season; he was replaced by Bass, who managed to get the team to finish at 41-41.

Moe returned to Denver in 1980 to take over the head coaching reins from another UNC alum, Donnie Walsh. From 1980 to 1990, Moe compiled a 432–357 (.548) record and led the Nuggets to the postseason nine-straight years—advancing as far as the Western Conference Finals in 1985. He guided the Nuggets to two Midwest Division titles (1984–85 and '87–88) and a franchise-record 54 wins in 1987–88. He was named NBA Coach of the Year that same year. Under Moe's direction, the Nuggets high-octane offense led the league in scoring in six of his 10 seasons in Denver.

Moe used a run-and-gun offense which had his team shoot before the opponent's defense had set up. He ran almost no plays, instead relying on ball movement, screens and constant cuts to the basket. Players were not to hold onto the ball for longer than two seconds. The movement of the ball was predicated on what the defense allowed. "You can't diagram it, you can't put a pencil and paper to it. If you do, you're doing an injustice to the system", said former Nuggets assistant Allan Bristow. Moe simply said, "The passing game is basically doing whatever the hell you want."

Moe's passing strategy was adopted from North Carolina head coach Dean Smith. Smith, normally a conservative coach, thought that the passing game could work with the right players, but he did not believe players would be smart enough to execute it at all times.

Though his offensive strategy led to high scores, Moe's Denver teams were never adept at running fast breaks. His teams at times appeared to give up baskets in order to get one. He disputed the fact that his teams did not play defense, attributing the high scores to the pace of the game.

Moe announced his dismissal from the Nuggets on September 6, 1990, at a press conference where he and his wife Jane had a Champagne toast. He had three years remaining on his contract but was caught in the middle of a front-office restructure initiated by Comsat Video Enterprises, Inc. which had purchased the franchise eleven months earlier. Comsat Chief Executive Officer Robert Wussler was most critical of his coaching. Moe is honored by the Nuggets with a banner that reads "432" for his number of wins as a Nuggets' head coach.

On May 27, 1992, Moe was hired by the Philadelphia 76ers. He was hired to a five-year contract. He had his son David Moe serve as an assistant coach. Less than two months after he was hired, the 76ers traded away star power forward Charles Barkley to the Phoenix Suns. On March 7, 1993, Moe was fired 56 games into the season with the team at 19-37 (in one game prior to his firing, the 76ers lost by 56 points). He stated his regrets upon the firing as one that failed to live to his vision, "I knew a few guys were going to have to play at a higher level than they'd ever played, but I believed that, if we played to the max, it was possible to get to 50 wins. But it was unrealistic. That probably hurt us. The expectations were too high. We underachieved."

Moe's overall NBA head coaching ledger stands at 628–529 (.543), the 19th most in NBA history. His win total was the most in Nugget history until Michael Malone passed him in November 23, 2024, much to Moe's approval.

In 1997, Moe was inducted into the Colorado Sports Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the NYC Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998. In 2015, he was inducted into the San Antonio Sports Hall of Fame.

Some of the better known players he coached include Alex English, Lafayette Fat Lever, Dan Issel, David Thompson, Kiki VanDeWeghe, T. R. Dunn, Bill Hanzlik, Danny Schayes, Glen Gondrezick, Calvin Natt, Blair Rasmussen, Michale Adams, Walter Davis, and Wayne Cooper.

Jesse Jackson Dies: Civil Rights Leader Was 84

 He was not on the list.

Reverend Jesse Jackson, the civil rights activist and preacher who fought tirelessly for decades, has died aged 84.

A statement from his family said Jackson “died peacefully on Tuesday morning, surrounded by his family.” A cause of death has not been given. Jackson was previously diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease.

“His unwavering commitment to justice, equality, and human rights helped shape a global movement for freedom and dignity,” said the statement. “A tireless change agent, he elevated the voices of the voiceless — from his Presidential campaigns in the 1980s to mobilizing millions to register to vote-leaving an indelible mark on history.” The full statement can be read below.

Born in 1941, Jackson began his career as a young protege of Martin Luther King Junior. Through a political and theological career across the decades, he maintained his position as a civil rights leader and pillar for the Black community.

He founded the Rainbow/PUSH organization and even launched a presidential campaign against Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, placing third for the democratic nomination. He tried again in 1988, placing second. He was elected to the senate in 1990 for the District of Columbia, serving one term as shadow delegate.

Jackson also hosted a TV show, Both Sides with Jesse Jackson, on CNN from 1992 to 2000. He remained in the spotlight until close to his death and will always be regarded as one of the most influential African-American activists of the century.

Jackson is survived by his wife, Jacqueline; their children Santita, Jesse Jr., Jonathan, Yusef, Jacqueline; daughter Ashley Jackson, and grandchildren.

He was a  civil rights activist, politician and ordained Baptist minister. A protégé of Martin Luther King Jr. during the civil rights movement, he became one of the most prominent civil rights leaders of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. From 1991 to 1997, he served as a shadow delegate and shadow senator for the District of Columbia. He was the father of U.S. Representative Jonathan Jackson and former U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr.

Born in Greenville, South Carolina, Jackson began his activism in the 1960s and founded the organizations that later merged to form the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition. Expanding his work into international affairs in the 1980s, he became a vocal critic of the Reagan administration and launched a presidential campaign in 1984. Initially viewed as a fringe candidate, he finished third for the Democratic nomination behind former Vice President Walter Mondale and Senator Gary Hart. He continued his activism and mounted a second presidential bid in 1988, finishing as the runner‑up to Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis.

 

Jackson did not seek the presidency again, but in 1990 he was elected as the District of Columbia's shadow senator, serving one term during the Bush and Clinton administrations. Although initially critical of President Bill Clinton, he later became a supporter. Jackson hosted Both Sides with Jesse Jackson on CNN from 1992 to 2000. A critic of police brutality, the Republican Party, and conservative policies, he was widely regarded as one of the most influential African‑American activists of his era.

Jackson was born Jesse Louis Burns on October 8, 1941, in Greenville, South Carolina to Helen Burns (1923–2015), an 18-year-old high school student, and her 33-year-old married neighbor, Noah Louis Robinson (1908–1997). His ancestry includes Cherokee, enslaved African-Americans, Irish plantation owners, and a Confederate sheriff.

As a child, Jesse Jackson was taunted by other children about his out‑of‑wedlock birth, and he said these experiences helped motivate him to succeed. Living under Jim Crow segregation laws, he was taught to go to the back of the bus and to use separate water fountains—practices he accepted until the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955. He attended a racially segregated school, Sterling High School in Greenville, where he was elected student class president, finished 10th in his class, and earned letters in baseball, football, and basketball.

After graduating from high school in 1959, Jackson rejected a contract from a minor-league professional baseball team so that he could attend the University of Illinois on a football scholarship. After his second semester at the predominantly white college, he transferred to North Carolina A&T, a historically black university in Greensboro, North Carolina. Accounts of the reasons for the transfer differed, though Jackson said he changed schools because racial prejudice prevented him from playing quarterback and limited his participation on a competitive public‑speaking team.

At A&T, Jackson played quarterback and was elected student body president. He became active in local civil-rights protests against segregated libraries, theaters, and restaurants. He graduated with a B.S. degree in sociology in 1964, then attended the Chicago Theological Seminary on a scholarship. He left the seminary in 1966, three classes short of earning his master's degree, to focus full-time on the civil rights movement. He was ordained a minister in 1968 and was awarded a Master of Divinity degree by Chicago Theological Seminary in 2000, based on his previously earned credits and his subsequent work and life experience.

Jackson's influence extended to international matters in the 1980s and 1990s. In 1983, he traveled to Syria to secure the release of a captured American pilot, Navy Lt. Robert Goodman, who was being held by the Syrian government. Goodman had been shot down over Lebanon while on a mission to bomb Syrian positions in that country. After Jackson made a dramatic personal appeal to Syrian President Hafez al-Assad, Goodman was released. The Reagan administration was initially skeptical about Jackson's trip, but after Jackson secured Goodman's release, Reagan welcomed Jackson and Goodman to the White House on January 4, 1984. This helped to boost Jackson's popularity as an American patriot and served as a springboard for his 1984 presidential run. In June 1984 Jackson negotiated the release of 22 Americans being held in Cuba after an invitation by Cuban president Fidel Castro. On the eve of the 1991 Persian Gulf War, Jackson made a trip to Iraq to plead with Saddam Hussein for the release of foreign nationals held there as a "human shield", securing the release of several British and 20 American individuals.

In 1997, Jackson traveled to Kenya to meet with Kenyan President Daniel arap Moi as United States President Bill Clinton's special envoy for democracy to promote free and fair elections. In April 1999, during the Kosovo War and the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, he traveled to Belgrade to negotiate the release of three U.S. POWs captured on the Macedonian border while patrolling with a UN peacekeeping unit. Along with Serbian American congressman Rod Blagojevich, he met with then-Yugoslav president Slobodan Milošević, who later agreed to release the three men. Jackson's negotiation was not sanctioned by the Clinton administration.

In August 2005 Jackson traveled to Venezuela to meet Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez after controversial remarks by televangelist Pat Robertson which implied that Chávez should be assassinated. Jackson condemned Robertson's remarks as being immoral. After meeting with Chávez and addressing the Venezuelan Parliament, Jackson said there was no evidence that Venezuela posed a threat to the U.S. He also met representatives from the Venezuelan African and indigenous communities. In 2013, Jackson attended Chávez's funeral. He told Wolf Blitzer that "democracies mature" and incorrectly said that the first 15 U.S. presidents owned slaves (John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, and James Buchanan did not have slaves). Jackson said that the U.S. had come very far since that era. In 2005, he was enlisted as part of the United Kingdom's Operation Black Vote, a campaign Simon Woolley ran to encourage more of Britain's ethnic minorities to vote in political elections ahead of the 2005 General Election.

Former USL basketball legend Dwight ‘Bo’ Lamar dies at 74

 

He was not on the list.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (KLFY) — Former University of Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette) basketball legend Dwight “Bo” Lamar has died, the school has confirmed. He was 74.

Lamar was a three-time All-American between 1969–1973, and was named first-team All-America in 1972 and 1973, leading the Ragin’ Cajuns to a 90–23 record in his four seasons.

During his college career he averaged 31.2 points a game, amassing 3,493 total points. He was the 1972 NCAA scoring champion, averaging 36.3 points per game.

Drafted by the NBA’s Detroit Pistons in the third round in 1973, Lamar signed instead with the ABA’s San Diego Conquistadors, and was named to the ABA’s All-Rookie first team. He later played with the Indiana Pacers and Los Angeles Lakers.

He returned to the Lafayette area after his playing career ended, and provided color commentary for radio broadcasts of USL games.

In 1984, Lamar was inducted into the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame.

He died early this morning in a nursing home in his hometown of Columbus, Ohio.

A graduate of East High School in Columbus, Ohio, Lamar attended Southwestern Louisiana, who transitioned to Division I in 1971–1972. Lamar did not even average 20 points per game as a senior in high school, playing alongside friend and teammate Ed Ratleff, but Southwestern Louisiana coach Beryl Shipley made him the focus of the SLA offense, with free rein to shoot. averaging 22.8 to earn “Freshman of the Year” in the Gulf States Conference. Eventually, the basketball program was given a two-year death penalty by the NCAA during Lamar's senior season, that went into effect the next season.

Lamar was a three-time collegiate All-American between 1969–1973, and was named First team All-America in 1972 and 1973 along with Bill Walton, David Thompson and Ernie DiGregorio. During his college career he averaged 31.2 points a game, a point total of 3,493 points, which remains among the top ranks of NCAA basketball. He is known for his extremely high long-range shot that some coaches say dusted the rafters.

“Bo Lamar is the purest shooter I’ve ever seen,” said Hall of Fame Coach Jerry Tarkanian.

Lamar was a third-round pick by the Detroit Pistons in the 1973 NBA draft. He was the top overall pick in the 1973 American Basketball Association Draft by the San Diego Conquistadors and signed with them.

As a rookie in 1973–1974, Lamar averaged 20.4 points per game for San Diego and made the ABA All-Rookie team, playing for Coach Wilt Chamberlain. He also set the franchise record, scoring 50 points in one game.

Lamar averaged 20.9 points per game in 1974–1975, being reunited with his college coach Beryl Shipley, during the season. After averaging 16.0 in his third season, he ended up playing sparingly for the Lakers in 1976–1977, the final year of his career. Lamar was released by the Lakers after the season.

He played for three American Basketball Association teams: the San Diego Conquistadors (1973–1975), the rebranded San Diego Sails (1975) (who folded after 11 games) and the Indiana Pacers (1975–1976) before moving to the NBA after the ABA–NBA merger. In 1976–1977 Lamar played 71 games for the Los Angeles Lakers. Overall, Lamar averaged 16.4 points and 3.9 assists in 273 career games. His ABA averages were 19.7 points and 4.4 assists in 202 games.

Billy Steinberg obit

‘Like a Virgin’ songwriter Billy Steinberg dies at 74

 

He was not on the list.

Billy Steinberg, who wrote the lyrics to some of the biggest pop hits of the 1980s — including Madonna’s “Like a Virgin,” Cyndi Lauper’s “True Colors” and Heart’s “Alone” — died Monday at his home in Brentwood. He was 74.

His death was confirmed by his lawyer, Laurie Soriano, who said the cause was cancer.

A Palm Springs native who grew up working for his father’s table grape business, Steinberg got into music first as a performer with the groups Billy Thermal and i-Ten, the latter of which he formed with a fellow songwriter, Tom Kelly. Together the duo wrote “Like a Virgin,” which spent six weeks atop Billboard’s Hot 100 in late 1984 and early 1985.

With Kelly, Steinberg scored four more No. 1s on the Hot 100: “True Colors,” Whitney Houston’s “So Emotional,” the Bangles’ “Eternal Flame” and “Alone.”

Steinberg’s other hits include the Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand by You,” the Divinyls’ “I Touch Myself” and “I Drove All Night,” which was recorded by both Lauper and Roy Orbison.

Steinberg won a Grammy Award in 1997 for his work on Celine Dion’s “Falling Into You,” which was named album of the year. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2011. His survivors include his wife, Trina, and his sons Ezra and Max.

Frederick Wiseman

Frederick Wiseman Dies at 96: The Documentary Legend Was One of Cinema’s Greatest Masters

Wiseman's 50-plus year career started with a bang with "Titicut Follies," and only got better. 

He was not on the list.

Frederick Wiseman, the legendary documentarian who made groundbreaking portraits of social institutions for over half a century, has died at 96 years old. The news was announced by his family and his Zipporah Films, Inc..

One the most important filmmakers of the last 50-plus years, Wiseman was also one of the most prolific. His body of work remained masterful well passed the age of 80, as his most recent films “Monrovia, Indiana,” “Ex Libris,” “In Jackson Heights,” “National Gallery,” and “At Berkeley” (on IndieWire’s Top 100 of the decade) received effusive and near-universal critical praise for being every bit as richly complex and razor sharp as the earlier films that carved his place on the Mt. Rushmore of documentary film.

Wiseman is best known for first film, 1967’s “Titicut Follies,” a harrowing look at the inhumane treatment of the criminally insane. After the controversial debut, there were no mainstream breakthroughs or Oscar nominations (though he did receive an honorary Oscar in 2016). There is no well-accepted canon or top 5 from his catalogue of 40+ feature films. Yet each of Wiseman’s films stands an ambitious cinematic achievement and, as a whole, his oeuvre serves as an invaluable anthropological study of institutional function. From the hospital in “Titicut Follies” (1967) right through to “Menus-Plaisirs – Les Troisgros” (2023), Wiseman’s focus has remained the same.

“I systematically wanted to select as subjects institutions that are important in the functioning of American society,” said Wiseman in a career retrospective interview with IndieWire on the anniversary of his 50th year as filmmaker in 2017. “Every society has schools, hospitals, prisons, some form of welfare, some form of the arts, so on one hand it was a way of looking at contemporary American life through institutions that are important and by implication have their counterparts elsewhere. 

Wiseman’s formalism was consistent through the decades: He always avoided narration, title cards, commentary, and any mode of spoon-feeding context to his audience. And although he avoided making his presence as a filmmaker felt to any blatant degree, and trained his camera on collective work rather than individuals in private, his films were hardly clinical or cold. To watch any one of Wiseman’s films is to fall under the spell of a master who used the medium to make the viewer a more empathetic and enlightened person, supplying the pleasure of watching human nature through the perceptive eye of a humorous, unpretentious man with insatiable curiosity.

Frederick Wiseman Ex Libris

‘Ex Libris’

Despite a deep body of work that spanned seven decades, Wiseman didn’t decide he even wanted to make films for living until he reached his mid-thirties. After getting his law degree at Yale University, he served in the military from 1954-56, then, living off the GI Bill, spent another two years in Paris, before accepting a teaching position at Boston University Law School.

Wiseman often said he hated law school the first time around — never attending class and reading novels for three years – but didn’t take any better to teaching, admitting that he moved back home to Boston simply because he needed a job. It was an unpleasant decision that came with a sobering realization. “I reached the witching age of 30 and figured I better do something I liked,” he told the AP.

While in Paris, Wiseman had enjoyed shooting 8mm footage of street scenes as well as his wife Zipporah (the namesake of his production company, which owns the copyright to all his films). He always had an intense interest in movies, but knew nothing about how to make them. To jumpstart his self-education, Wiseman optioned Warren Miller’s 1959 novel “Cool World,” and asked Shirley Clarke — whose movie “The Connection” Wiseman greatly admired — to direct the adaptation, which he then produced.

The film, which interweaved documentary footage of Harlem into the dramatic fictional story of a youth gang, demystified the filmmaking process for Wiseman, and convinced him it was both a worthwhile profession and one he could do himself.

It was around this same period when Wiseman saw the 1962 documentary “Mooney vs Fowle” (also known as “Football”), produced by Drew Associates, that opened yet another door of possibility. Robert Drew was one of the pioneering nonfiction filmmakers to take advantage of the 1959 technological breakthrough of 16mm cameras with a crystal sync — which allowed sound to be recorded independently of the camera and later synchronized in post-production, giving filmmakers a tremendous new freedom to follow subjects and capture everyday life.

Now in his mid-thirties, Wiseman knew he wanted to try his hand at this new way of filming a documentary and used his BU teaching job to find his first subject. Wiseman taught a class on legal medicine, and would often take his students on field trips to observe the real world places this type of law was practiced, including courtrooms, hospitals, and prisons. One regular stop was the Bridgewater State Hospital, which became the setting for his controversial first film “Titicut Follies.”

Although Wiseman received permission to shoot at Bridgewater for 29 days, and obtained release waivers from his subjects, the state of Massachusetts, ahead of the film’s screening at the 1967 New York Film Festival, sued to ban the film’s release for a violation of privacy — a legally dubious claim, but one that nonetheless prevented the film from being publicly shown until 1991.

Due to the controversy that surrounded “Titicut,” combined with the police brutality Wiseman captured in his third film about the Kansas City Police Department, “Law and Order” (1969), the filmmaker gained the misleading reputation of being a muckraking journalist. Over time, Wiseman would say that felt he had also been mis-categorized as a product of the “direct cinema” and “cinéma vérité” movement that grew out the 1960s. He famously bristling at being called an observational documentarian by stating, “I am not a fly on the wall.”

In reality, Wiseman was not a journalist, nor a passive documenter, but rather one of the most influential and trailblazing practitioners of the cinematic art form in its first 100 years, producing a body of work that reveals as much about human nature as any artist of his generation. His films, even those now 40-plus years old, have proved to be just as relevant and insightful today as when they were made. In retrospect, what is evident in “Titicut Follies” is not a muckraker, but a filmmaker who found his life-long subject with his very first film: society’s institutions.

“Nobody with an ounce of awareness could go into Bridgewater and think it was a good place, so the film does show the horrors of the place, but that’s not the sole reason for making the film,” Wiseman explained to IndieWire. “What I’m interested in, generally speaking, is exploring as many different aspects of human behavior as I can in different contexts. And the institution is really only an excuse, in a sense that it provides boundaries and rules for that exploration.”

Wiseman didn’t follow his subjects beyond the confines of their job. He had no interest in the stories of individuals. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he didn’t trail the famous, or infamous, nor film a protagonist until a three-act story emerged. The absence of those factors is likely why none of his films broke through to reach a wider audience or became awards season darlings. Despite consistently glowing reviews, and the devoted admiration of his peers, Wiseman was never even nominated for an Academy Award prior to being given an Honorary Oscar in 2016.

What Wiseman’s early films did attract was vital support from the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) and the Ford Foundation, which allowed him in his first two decades to consistently keep making films rather than hunt for funding. Throughout his career, Wiseman remained productive with a consistent output of a new film approximately every 18 months. Institutions not only supplied a framework for his exploration; they put limits on that exploration. For the first half of Wiseman’s career, he would only film for four to six weeks, and even in the last two decades, as the running time on his films nearly doubled from 90 minutes to three-hours, his productions rarely stretched on longer than eight weeks.

Richard Ottinger, former NY congressman and Pace law dean, dies at 97

 

He was not on the list.

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University mourns the passing of Dean Emeritus Richard L. Ottinger: environmental pioneer, dedicated public servant, leading scholar, and beloved teacher whose influence shaped this Law School and helped define modern environmental law.

Dick Ottinger’s professional life traced the arc of public purpose. He was a co-founder of the Peace Corps. A sixteen-year Member of Congress. A leader in landmark environmental legislation. Founder and Chair Emeritus of the Environmental and Energy Study Institute. Founder of the Pace Energy Project. Dean of Pace Law School. A Scholar, mentor, and advocate.

Dick’s life’s work measures far beyond impressive titles alone. His professional life is measured in part by the institutions he strengthened, the students he inspired, and the legal frameworks he helped construct, frameworks that continue to shape environmental policy in the United States and across the globe.

Foundations of a Life in Service

Born on January 27, 1929, in Westchester County, Dick was rooted in the community he would later represent in Congress and ultimately return to serve through education.

He earned a Bachelor of Arts in Government from Cornell University in 1950 and graduated from Harvard Law School in 1953. That same year, he joined the United States Air Force, serving during the Korean War, rising to the rank of Captain, and twice achieving distinction for his service.

After leaving active military service, he practiced law in New York City, first as an associate at Cleary, Gottlieb, Friendly & Hamilton and later as a partner at Kridel, Malone & Spear.

Notably, he also co-founded one of the most enduring institutions of American public service, the Peace Corps, serving as Director of Latin American Programs from 1961–1964. In those early years, he helped build the operational and philosophical foundation of an organization rooted in global cooperation and service.

Congress: Environmental Leadership Ahead of its Time

In 1964, Dick was elected to Congress, becoming the first Democrat to win his Westchester seat. He would go on to serve sixteen impactful years in the House of Representatives.

He entered Congress at a pivotal time in American history and quickly established himself as a reform-minded legislator. He played a leadership role in efforts to modernize and democratize Congressional rules and procedures, but it was environmental law where he left his most enduring marks.

Throughout his Congressional career, Dick was often cited as one of the earliest environmentalists in Congress and one of the best-known experts in energy conservation. He chaired the Subcommittee on Energy, Conservation and Power and was one of the principal authors of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA), legislation that fundamentally reshaped utility regulation by opening markets to renewable energy and cogeneration. Here Dick played a central role in shaping national energy policy.

Throughout his Congressional career, Dick was often cited as one of the earliest environmentalists in Congress and one of the best-known experts in energy conservation.

Long before renewable energy and climate change became dominant policy conversations, Dick was advocating conservation, government-backed solar initiatives, and energy systems that accounted for environmental cost.

He founded the Environmental and Energy Study Conference, the largest bipartisan, bicameral caucus in Congress, to provide objective information on environmental and energy issues. That body later evolved into the Environmental and Energy Study Institute (EESI), which he would continue to guide as Founder and Chair Emeritus.

During his time in Congress, Dick did not merely participate in the development of environmental law, he helped define it.

Coming “Home” to Pace

In 1984, after sixteen years in Congress, Dick returned to Westchester and joined what was then known as Pace University School of Law.

It was here that Dick embarked on what would become one of the most consequential chapters of his career. As a professor he taught in the environmental law program from 1984-94, espousing his knowledge and passion on countless law students, bringing to the classroom not only scholarly expertise but firsthand experience in shaping national policy.

The Pace Energy Project: Transforming Environmental Law into Action

Shortly after joining Pace, Dick became co-director of the Center for Environmental Legal Studies and founded the Pace Energy Project, now known worldwide as the Pace Energy and Climate Center.

This was groundbreaking work, as in the late 1980s, climate change was not yet a central legal issue. Under his leadership, the Pace Energy Project was already advocating for the integration of renewable energy into state utility systems, promoting energy efficiency mandates, challenging conventional utility investment models, and reframing environmental harm as an economic externality rather than an unavoidable cost of progress.

The Project pushed for the replacement of outdated power plants and greater investment in clean energy—laying critical groundwork for the legal and policy frameworks that would later define modern climate advocacy.

Dick also pioneered Environmental Costs of Electricity (1990), recognized as the first U.S. study of energy environmental externalities. This research reshaped how regulators and courts understood the “true cost” of energy, integrating environmental harm into economic decision-making.

It was through the Pace Energy Project that the Law School became not merely a teaching institution, but a practical policy think tank, engaged in real-world reform, influencing regulatory proceedings, and training students to operate at the intersection of law, science, and governance.

It was Dick’s work here that helped bring national acclaim to the Law School’s environmental law program.

Leadership and Impact at Pace

In 1994, Dick became Acting Dean and later Dean of Pace Law School.

As Dean, his leadership was transformative. Some of his most notable accomplishments included:

Establishing the Law School’s Board of Visitors

Securing the development of a new classroom building

Strengthening international programs

Establishing and expanding the LLM program

Establishing the Law School’s Annual Fundraising Dinner

Instrumentally bringing the New York State Judicial Institute, the training center for all New York State judges, to the Law School campus

Most important to Dick was his relationship with his students. A 1999 graduating student, Alicia Menechino, published “A Tribute to Dean Richard L. Ottinger” law review article as Dick’s time as Dean came to a close. In the article, she described him as:

“a memorable Dean… acclaimed for his outreach to, and inclusion of students in all matters affecting the school.” He was further described as a “voice of reason,” someone who led with “compassion” and “integrity.” She noted that he was “an approachable Dean,” and someone who “wanted to ease our transition into law school”

Dick never lost sight of his students. He personally greeted entering students. He listened. He invited questions. He modeled accessibility in leadership. For Dick, it always came back to the students.

In Dick’s own words, “Students are what a university is all about. The greatest joy of teaching is to see our students grow and succeed. We so often learn more from them than they from us.” For thousands of students, he was not simply a former Congressman. He was Professor and Dean Ottinger.

In Dick’s own words, “Students are what a university is all about. The greatest joy of teaching is to see our students grow and succeed. We so often learn more from them than they from us.”

Ottinger Hall: More Than a Name

In 2013, the Law School’s classroom building, which he helped construct during his time as Dean, was officially dedicated as Richard L. Ottinger Hall.

Dick responded to the honor with humility and wit, noting:

“Such an honor usually is reserved for those who are deceased.”

During the dedication, he thanked faculty, staff, donors, students, and especially his family. He made clear the building was not about personal recognition — it was about a broader mission, stating that, “No one builds a building by oneself, or a law school either for that matter.”

During his remarks, he also invoked Opportunitas, Pace University’s founding motto, as central to the Law School’s mission, noting that when the Law School was created it was meant to be student-oriented, and providing an opportunity for a legal education to students and faculty of all backgrounds, income classes, and beyond. And, importantly, a school where justice and access to the law for all was imparted among students. For Dick, ensuring that the Law School remained true to this mission was paramount.

It was during these remarks that Dick noted how he appreciated serving with what he described as “like-minded faculty.” In his own words, he often described his time at Pace as a “privilege.” He felt inspired by his colleagues in furthering environmental protection and justice and most importantly, inspired to “help educate the next generation of lawyers to be the leaders in advancing the cause of justice in our community, our country and the world.” For Dick, that was what it meant to have his name on Ottinger Hall.

Today, Ottinger Hall stands as a visible reminder of a life devoted to justice, public service, and education.

Dick was widely considered one of the most influential people in the field of environmental law. Environmental law today, in its integration of sustainability principles, renewable energy frameworks, environmental cost accounting, international cooperation, and more, bears the imprint of his vision.

Scholar, International Leader, and Architect of Modern Environmental Law

Dick’s scholarship throughout his life further expanded his impact. He authored or co-authored more than 100 articles and numerous books on environmental law, renewable energy, sustainability, and climate governance. His work influenced domestic regulatory policy and international legal frameworks alike. He was also the recipient of many prestigious honors and awards, and a dedicated member of countless organizations where he imparted his wisdom and made an impact.

Dick’s influence extended deeply into the international arena. He was invited to lecture at the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), the only U.S. professor ever so invited. He also attended several IRENA Assemblies in Abu Dhabi. He led the renewable energy studies of the Commission on Environmental Law of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and represented Pace at numerous IUCN World Conservation Congresses around the world.

His IUCN book on renewable energy law, edited with Professor Adrian Bradbrook of Australia, was launched at the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change in Bonn, a fitting testament to the global relevance of his work. He was also a founder of the Consortium for Ecological Law, which supports students at Pace Haub Law in their participation in IUCN activities, further extending his commitment to ensuring that our students engaged meaningfully in global environmental governance.

Dick was widely considered one of the most influential people in the field of environmental law. Environmental law today, in its integration of sustainability principles, renewable energy frameworks, environmental cost accounting, international cooperation, and more, bears the imprint of his vision.

A Legacy That Will Endure

Richard L. Ottinger’s professional life’s work reshaped environmental policy in Congress. It strengthened international legal frameworks. It institutionalized renewable energy law. It created the Pace Energy and Climate Center. It built one of the nation’s top environmental law programs. It influenced generations of lawyers.

He leaves behind his beloved wife June, four children, and ten grandchildren, and a community profoundly shaped by his presence.

Dick’s legacy will endure – through the students he taught, the policies he shaped, and the values he embodied. And through the law itself.

Robert Duvall - # 357

Robert Duvall, star of 'The Godfather,' 'Apocalypse Now,' dead at 95

Duvall won an Oscar for 1983's "Tender Mercies." 

He was number 357 on the list.

Robert Duvall, the Academy Award-winning actor known for roles in some of American cinema's greatest films, including "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now," has died at age 95.

"Yesterday we said goodbye to my beloved husband, cherished friend, and one of the greatest actors of our time. Bob passed away peacefully at home, surrounded by love and comfort," read a statement posted on the actor's official Facebook page by his wife, Luciana.

A statement from Duvall's representative confirmed the actor's death, reading in part, "Academy Award winning actor Robert Selden Duvall passed away peacefully in his home in Middleburg, Virginia the evening of Sunday, February 15, 2026 with his wife Luciana Duvall by his side. He was 95."

"In keeping with Duvall’s wishes, no formal service will be held," the statement continued. "Instead, the family encourages those who wish to honor his memory to do so in a way that reflects the life he lived by watching a great film, telling a good story around a table with friends, or taking a drive in the countryside to appreciate the world’s beauty."

Duvall brought a signature naturalism to the roles he played, an unmannered style that infused his myriad characters with a calm intensity – a counterpoint to his self-confessed often hot-tempered on-set disposition – and earned him a reputation as one of his generation's finest actors. Beginning with his memorable film debut as Boo Radley in 1962's "To Kill a Mockingbird," in which he didn't utter a word, Robert Duvall went on to appear in more than 90 films over the next seven decades, working with some of Hollywood's most celebrated filmmakers and performers.

Duvall shared the screen as the outlaw Ned Pepper opposite John Wayne in 1969's "True Grit," originated the role of Maj. Frank Burns in Robert Altman's 1970 dark comedy "M*A*S*H," and starred in the title role in "Star Wars" creator George Lucas' 1971 directorial debut, "THX 1138." Duvall also played Corleone family consigliere Tom Hagen in Francis Ford Coppola's "The Godfather" and "The Godfather Part II" opposite his acting hero, Marlon Brando, and had a pivotal role the ruthless network VP Frank Hackett in the acclaimed 1976 media satire "Network."

As the shirtless, cowboy hat-wearing Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore in Coppola's 1979 Vietnam War epic "Apocalypse Now," Duvall delivered the film's most oft-quoted line: "I love the smell of napalm in the morning." Four years later, Duvall won the Academy Award for Best Actor for playing Mac Sledge, a recovering alcoholic country music star attempting to make amends in "Tender Mercies."

Other career highlights included playing cynical sportswriter Max Murphy in the 1984 Robert Redford baseball fable "The Natural"; NASCAR crew chief Harry Hogge opposite Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman in the 1990 action hit "Days of Thunder"; Sgt. Martin Prendergast, the retiring LAPD officer who spends his final day on the job pursuing Michael Douglas' unhinged character in 1993's "Falling Down"; and a criminal court judge accused of murder who's defended by his estranged son, played by Robert Downey Jr., in the 2014 legal drama "The Judge."

Of all his many celebrated acting roles, however, Duvall repeatedly said his favorite was that of retired Texas Ranger Augustus "Gus" McCrae in the 1989 TV Western miniseries "Lonesome Dove," which Duvall called "The 'Godfather' of Westerns'" in a 2021 interview with Stephen Colbert. The series was one of several TV projects in which Duvall starred. Others included playing the title role in 1992's HBO film drama "Stalin," for which he won a Golden Globe – his fourth lifetime win – and the 2006 AMC Western miniseries "Broken Trail," which earned Duvall a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor, in addition to another for producing the series.

"Time teaches you a lot of things. It gets a little easier as you get older," Duvall, then 72, told ABC News' Charlie Gibson in 2003, reflecting in his craft. He went on to quote a line from his beloved "Lonesome Dove" character, Gus McCrae: "The older the violin, the sweeter the music. Maybe that applies somewhere."

Robert Selden Duvall was born in San Diego, California, on Jan. 5, 1931, to Mildred, an amateur actress, and William, a rear admiral in the United States Navy, as the middle son of three boys. His family soon moved to Annapolis, Maryland, home of the U.S. Naval Academy, where Duvall spend most of his youth. Despite his father's wish that he enroll in the Academy, Duvall graduated from Principia College in Elsah, Illinois with a degree in drama in 1953, after which he enlisted in the U.S. Army and was honorably discharged two years later.

Duvall moved to New York following his military discharge and used the GI Bill to enroll in the famed Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theatre. During this same time, Duvall roomed with a fellow struggling actor who was a recent transplant from California, Dustin Hoffman, and also befriended Hoffman's California acting classmate, Gene Hackman. Following his graduation two years later, Duvall worked mostly in local and regional theater before making his television debut in 1959 in the anthology TV drama series "Armstrong Circle Theatre."

More TV roles followed – in all, Duvall made some 50 guest appearances though 1969 in hit TV shows including "Route 66," "Naked City," "The Twilight Zone," "The Untouchables," "The Fugitive," "The Outer Limits" and more. He also made his Broadway debut in "Wait Until Dark" in 1966, one of only two such appearances he made, the second being in the original Broadway cast of playwright David Mamet's celebrated work, "American Buffalo."

At the same time, Duvall began building his film resume, making his big-screen debut in the now-classic Robert Mulligan-directed 1962 film adaptation of Harper Lee's 1960 novel "To Kill a Mockingbird." Duvall played the reclusive Boo Radley in a single scene, opposite fellow Neighborhood Playhouse alumnus Gregory Peck in his Oscar-winning role as attorney Atticus Finch. A handful of modest film roles followed until Duvall landed the featured role of the outlaw Ned Pepper in the 1969 John Wayne Western classic "True Grit."

That role opposite one of cinema's living legends raised Duvall's Hollywood profile. Bigger film roles quickly followed, including that of the repressed, by-the-book Maj. Frank Burns in the 1970 box office smash "M*A*S*H," the success of which inspired the long-running TV series of the same name. Duvall's most memorable film role to that point, however, came two years later, when Francis Ford Coppola cast him as Corleone family consigliere Tom Hagen in "The Godfather," a role Duvall reprised in 1974's "The Godfather Part II." His work in "The Godfather" earned Duvall his first Academy Award nomination.

Including "The Godfather" and "The Godfather Part II," Duvall appeared in five films directed by Coppola in five years, beginning with the 1969 drama "The Rain People," 1974's "The Conversation" opposite his old friend, Gene Hackman, and ending with his Oscar-nominated role as Lt. Col. Bill Kilgore in Coppola's 1979 Vietnam War epic, "Apocalypse Now."

Duvall worked steadily for the remainder of his life. He earned his third Oscar nod for 1980's "The Great Santini," and his first win three years later playing washed-up country singer Mac Sledge in 1983's "Tender Mercies," written by Pulitzer Prize winner Horton Foote. The latter also won an Academy Award for the film – his second win, the first being for adapting Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird," Duvall's motion picture debut.

Asked by ABC's Chris Connelly in 2014 if winning an Oscar changed his life, Duvall was succinct: "I became more recognizable in airports. That's about it."

In total, Duvall was nominated for seven Academy Awards, the final three for his performances in 1997's "The Apostle," which he also wrote and directed; 1998's "A Civil Action," co-starring with John Travolta as a corrupt corporate attorney; and 2014's "The Judge." His nomination for "The Judge," at age 84, then made him the oldest actor ever nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category, until Christopher Plummer, at age 86, was nominated three years later for "All the Money in the World."

Other notable later films in which Duvall appeared include "The Handmaid's Tale" in 1990, 1996's "Sling Blade," 1998's sci-fi action thriller "Deep Impact," "Crazy Heart" in 2009 – this time with Jeff Bridges playing a down-on-his luck country singer – and as a shooting range owner in the 2012 Tom Cruise hit "Jack Reacher."

In addition to his Oscar, Emmy and Golden Globe wins, Robert Duvall won a BAFTA and a Screen Actors Guild Award, the former for "Apocalypse Now" and the latter for "A Civil Action," as well as dozens of other critical and popular award nominations and wins. He was also awarded the National Medal of Arts by then-President George W. Bush in 2005.

"Well, you hang out with young people. I can learn from them; they can learn from me," Duvall answered when Connelly asked him how he kept working into his eighth decade. "I think that's what keeps me going, at least."

"The day will come when they definitively wipe the drool and you call it quits," Duvall added. "Until that time comes, you try to live life to the fullest."

Duvall was married four times, most recently in 2005 to Luciana Pedraza, who survives him. He had no children.
