Thank you for sharing this notice of the sad news about Prof. Schelling. Several years ago, he was kind enough to speak about his work, and how the international order functions, at an event sponsored by my unit. It was held in the Special Events room at McKeldin, and I happened to ride the elevator down to the first floor with him afterwards. There were a couple of undergrads also in the elevator, but who had not been at the event. We all chatted a bit on the way down--Prof. Schelling was his usual low-key self--and after he got off and he went on his way, I mentioned to the two students who he was, and that he had won a Nobel. I will never forget the look on their faces--that look that says something is one of the coolest, most unexpected things ever to happen to them--that they got to talk to a Nobel Prize winner, and that he had been interested in what they had to say. Priceless, but also typical of everything I have ever heard about Prof. Schelling.
