This transition of the ADN from Alice Rogoff to the Binkleys reminds me somehow of that well-known but little understood saying: "The king is dead. Long live the king." In this case: "The old ADN is dead. Long live the new ADN." Few people really knew the old ADN but a lot had strong opinions about it both good and bad. Charles Wohlforth knew it from the inside and has written an almost loving "obituary" for some of the people who made it up. Judging from the comments below, others would write a much different obit. But in any event, the old ADN is dead. So for now I think we must all say "Long live the new ADN," not knowing yet what it will be but hoping for the best.
