"Sam" Swartz and I worked together at the Yale Daily News during our 
junior and senior years. Sam was one of the five news editors who 
each took a day of the week and had the responsibility of laying out 
the next day's paper, picking the lead stories and figuring out which 
stories would be accompanied by photographs. I don't have any good 
anecdotes, but I certainly remember Sam's dedication and reliability 
with gratitude. Putting out a daily college newspaper is fun and 
exciting but it can be drudgery.  Getting people to show up to cover 
meetings, edit stories or lay out pages  was challenging, especially 
as exams approached. Sam always showed up. I lost track of him after 
our board stopped running the news. I don't think I ever heard from 
him after graduation. But I was profoundly saddened a few years later 
when I read that he had died.
