‘Last Lecture’ Professor Randy Pausch Dies at 47

Randy Pausch, a popular college professor whose “last lecture” became an Internet sensation, died at age 47 on July 25 in Virginia following a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.

Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University, was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic cancer in September 2006. In August 2007, the cancer had spread, and Pausch was given 6 months to live. A month after learning the cancer was terminal, Pausch gave his now-famous talk to a packed auditorium, where he discussed the importance of celebrating living life instead of concentrating on impending death.

Giuliani, no longer the impish, roly-poly 7-year old who stole the show at his father’s mayoral inauguration, is trying to make a federal case against the university and the coach who kicked him off the golf team. [Guardian]
