In Memoriam: Alvin H. Baum, Jr. (1930–2021)
Alvin H. Baum, Jr., passed away on March 28, 2021. He was 90 years old, and died of natural causes in his sleep.
Alvin (Al) was born September 7, 1930, in Chicago’s Hyde Park, but grew up in Highland Park, a Chicago suburb, with his younger brother, David. Precocious at a young age, he was told he could identify car models at the age of two. Al struggled with a severe speech disability as a young child, but was always accomplished in school, ranking in the top three of his class at Highland Park High School. In advanced English, he wrote papers for his friend (which invariably received A’s, higher grades than even his own essays). He also began a lifelong passion for history and the humanities.

Sunday Links: Johnson & Johnson s COVID-19 Vaccine Gets Emergency Use Authorization by FDA
Johnson & Johnson s single-dose COVID-19 vaccine was given the green light by the FDA Saturday for emergency use purposes. Millions of doses of this third effective vaccine which unlike Pfizer and Moderna s units, only requires one injection could reach Americans by early next week; though not as efficacious as the other two multi-dose vaccines, Fauci would like to remind everyone they should just be really grateful that these vaccines even exist in the first place.

Bay Area rents dropped again for yet another month in a row. While still nauseatingly steep, San Francisco’s rent for a median one-bedroom price decreased by 24.3% since last year; similarly, one-bedroom rentals in San Jose fell as well though by no means on par with the national average for a one-bedroom rent that s currently at $1,621.
