Bond. Julian Bond. RIP

     Not just some fictional superhero, Julian Bond was a modern-day civil rights hero. He died Saturday, see, e.g., N.Y. Times, Julian Bond, Charismatic Civil Rights Leader, Dies at 75 (noting, inter alia, "Julian’s grandfather James Bond, one of Jane Bond’s sons, was educated at Berea and Oberlin Colleges and became a clergyman." and "he is survived by . . . . a brother, James").
