...shared the belief that if you're fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back - he with his Newman's Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are gravely ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn't see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events. And then we'd give each other a hard time.

...people respected Dionicio because he always respected them. He leaves behind a legacy of great optimism for the Mexican-American community. In his final years, he felt insulted by the onslaught of attacks on Mexicans by anti-immigrant bashers. But he stood firm in his belief that we would be strong enough to endure the attacks and would continue to make great contributions to this wonderful nation that he loved. Vaya con Dios, Don Dionicio...

...Gray is an interesting man to make that point, because in the 1970s he was one of the intellectual godfathers of Thatcherism, the belief that free markets and red-in-tooth-and-claw capitalism were the essential underpinnings of successful modern societies. Granted, he has been moving away from such neoliberal fundamentalism for years. I remember a conversation with him precisely 10 years ago - after the collapse of Long Term Capital Management and Russia's default, the last time when it looked as if the market revolution were in peril - when he lamented that neoliberals had "underestimated the revolutionary nature...
