Why is it important?
My many vivid memories of things Fishman said or wrote in my personal encounters with him –often pithy one-liners – are testimony to the power of his mind and voice, his spirit and soul.
Perspectives
My hope is that these personal stories begin to convey the intellectual giant Joshua A. Fishman was.
