Tax Policy Icon Dies

Yale Professor Emeritus Boris Bittker (as cited also in Instapundit) died late this past week in Connecticut. I was first exposed to him in a tax law class in my doctoral coursework in Missouri; Dr. Bittker was one of the giants in tax policy (legal tax theory) along with Henry Simons, Stanley Surrey and others. My sympathy to Yale Law School and all those that Professor Bittker touched.
