Obituary: Reagan economist Martin Feldstein, 79, died the other day. He also taught at Harvard.
He had been battling cancer for some time.
Professor Feldstein rose to prominence early in his career as he sought to take serious economic research out of the classroom and apply it to public policy._____
“He was a dominating scholar and teacher of public sector economics of the last half century,” Lawrence H. Summers, the former Treasury secretary who once worked as a research assistant for Professor Feldstein, said in a telephone interview on Tuesday. He credited Professor Feldstein, his former dissertation adviser, with “bringing serious empirical analysis, particularly with respect to incentives, to the whole field of public sector economics.”
Another obituary: Robert Earle, known for hosting the popular GE College Bowl after the original host, Allen Ludden, left the series to host Password, died of cancer a few days ago. He was 93 years old.
Robert Earle was born Jan. 5, 1926, in Baldwin, N.Y. His father sold linoleum, and his mother was a homemaker.
After serving in the Navy in the Pacific theater during World War II, Mr. Earle attended Utica College, then a division of Syracuse University, in Upstate New York. He received a bachelor’s degree in English in 1951.
In college, he began working in radio and later in television. At a station in Utica, he mentored a young Dick Clark, later the host of ‘‘American Bandstand.’’
From 1953 to 1959, Mr. Earle chaired the television and radio department at Ithaca College, before joining GE.
He had one of the longest marriages in show business history, having been married to his wife for 71 years.
