Screen-L may not be the best home for news items but I think Farber 
was important enough for many of us to deserve the 
recognition.  Negative Space was a revelation when I first read it 
(in a copy that was a gift from Screen-L's founder over two decades 
ago) and that's hardly an uncommon reaction.
