When I read *Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance* it seemed to
me that the formidable Chairman who appears in the latter part of the
book was a portrait of the late Richard McKeon, whose edition of
selected works of Aristotle you have probably seen.  McKeon was
highly regarded on this campus as a philosopher and teacher, although
evidently some students were terrified of him.  He died a few months
ago.
