Saddened to hear of the passing of John Molyneux. I admired his writing for many years in particular his book Rembrandt and Revolution. When I met John it became clear to me that I was in the presence of not only a giant (me being 5 foot 5 and shrinking) physically but also politically. A nice person with a warm handshake and smile who patiently explained complicated ideas in simple ways that people could understand and relate to. He leaves us at a difficult time, which now gets more difficult without his experience and example to help us. My condolences to Mary Smith at this terrible time.
