I read his obituary in the paper yesterday. He's best known as the creator of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy on gays in the military, but he was best known to me as a Northwestern University professor. I took his "Social Problems: Norms and Deviants" course as a junior. The majority of the grade in the class was a research paper, and for that paper I wrote about UFOs as a social problem. I even arranged to talk to J. Allen Hynek, noted UFO researcher (as in creator of the phrase "close encounters of the third kind") and Northwestern professor emeritus, about my paper. Grade? Nailed it. I have to find it and post it sometime.
But I digress. Moskos was a popular NU professor. May he rest in peace.
