Our beloved colleague Claudia Rosett died Saturday night, at her home in upstate New York. Conversation and friendship are the most civilized of human endeavors, and Claudia was brilliant at both. She was a penetrating analyst of world affairs, and as a journalist she broke world-class stories.

The sorrow here at IWF—and other places touched by Claudia in her distinguished career—is almost palpable. Claudia was much admired and will be very much missed.
