It’s the NY Times obituary, and the first I’ve seen that has included cause & circumstances of death, so I appreciate seeing it.

The NYT author is a retired business editor. Our fathers were best friends and classmates. Bob Hershey and I went to their same college, Gettysburg.
I lived in N. Philly not far from Walt Williams. I SALUTE. a fine man.

At least the Democrats can’t claim it was from the Coven19 virus.

Walter Williams earned the doctorate (it was not merely honorary) and taught at universities and think tanks. Yet the NYT repeatedly calls him “Mr. Williams” in this obit instead of “Dr. Williams”, by which he would surely have been addressed at his workplace. And they want to sneer about racism?
I wonder if Dr. Jill Biden, an elementary schoolteacher, will routinely be called “Mrs. Biden” by the NYT?

Editors are slavishly devoted to their style books, and the AP style book has decreed that Ph.D.s are never addressed as “Dr.” That title is assigned only to medical doctors.
