- Leigh Speakers' Bureau:
The Eighteen-Year-Old is going to college next year, which means that I need to think about making more money. (The idea that one might write checks to rather than receive checks from universities is now strange to me.) So I have signed up with the Leigh Speakers' Bureau which also handles, among many others: Chris Anderson; Suzanne Berger; Michael Boskin; Kenneth Courtis; Clive Crook; Bill Emmott; Robert H. Frank; William Goetzmann; Douglas J. Holtz-Eakin; Paul Krugman; Bill McKibben; Paul Romer; Jeffrey Sachs; Robert Shiller;James Surowiecki; Martin Wolf; Adrian Wooldridge.

Sad, sad news...47 is far too young.
For the last couple of years, Tanta has used her remaining strength to push ideas and conversations that were more important than her. They were not always popular, but I think history will judge them righter than most. She has shared her industry knowledge and experience with us so that we might benefit, even though she must have known that she would not.
I will miss reading her. I will miss engaging with her. I will miss the Pig. I will curse cancer for taking bright young people from us before they can fully contribute to our public conversation.
Curse you, cancer. Tante Vive!

I am very sorry to hear this. May she rest in peace. And may all of us remember to enjoy every moment of this life that we are granted.

This is most sad. She was very smart and very funny, ethically serious, the kind of engaged, expert voice that the blogosphere brings forward at its best. Those who followed CR knew she was ill, but we hoped.

She was an inspiration, using the life she was granted to produce something important and of lasting value. She was one of the best teachers I have ever had.

If you want to know what a "blog" community is go to CR's comments section and read of the impact Tanta had on the readers.

RIP, Tanta. 'Speaker of Truth' is worth having as an epitaph.
