Aaron Director, 102, the celebrated free-market economist who helped unite the fields of law and economics and mentored several generations of scholars, died Sept. 11 at his home in Los Altos Hills, Calif. No cause of death was reported.
Director, who published sparingly, was perhaps best known for his influence on his students and colleagues at the University of Chicago Law School, including the jurists Robert H. Bork and Richard A. Posner.
Director was so adamant in his beliefs that he wrote to his sister, Rose, shortly before her marriage to Friedman in 1938, "Tell him I shall not hold his very strong New Deal leanings -- authoritarian to use an abusive term -- against him."

 3dmm Bulletin Board - September 4 - Pamela   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Despite its unoriginal-sounding plot, the movie oozes with plenty of jokes, suspense, and a great ending to cap it all off, which keeps you glued to the screen as you try to work out who this Pamela is. The answer, of course, isn't as obvious as you think.
Aaron ever-so-slightly inserts the conventions of both these genres fittingly into this well-directed piece of art, and the end result is what we have come to expect from Haynes: a rush-job.
And from the raspy Barton-esque (well DUH.) introduction of the film's protagonist and lone detective (convention #1), to the mysterious set puzzle piece of the possibly connected victims of murder (convention #2) to the brief but hilariously obvious denouement scene at the end (convention #3), the realities of the Hard-Boiled protocol are affirmed.
