All of us at Harper’s Magazine deeply mourn the death of our longtime friend and contributing editor Tom Wolfe. Some of his most influential writings were published in this magazine. These include “The Painted Word,” “Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast,” and “From Bauhaus to Our House.” His essays and journalism, as elegant as the figure he cut, have greatly enhanced the esteem Harper’s has enjoyed over the past half century. He will be missed.

At Ivanwald, men learn to be leaders by loving their leaders. “They’re so busy loving us,” a brother once explained to me, “but who’s loving them?” We were. The brothers each paid $400 per month for room and board, but we were also the caretakers of The Cedars, cleaning its gutters, mowing its lawns, whacking weeds and blowing leaves and sanding. And we were called to serve on Tuesday mornings, when The Cedars hosted a regular prayer breakfast typically presided over by Ed Meese, the former attorney general. Each week the breakfast brought together a rotating group of ambassadors, businessmen, and American politicians. Three of Ivanwald’s brothers also attended, wearing crisp shirts starched just for the occasion; one would sit at the table while the other two poured coffee.
