News at Eleven: One day while [James] McKusick was working

in the Huntington Library, [Paul] Zall walked up to him and plopped a 2-foot-tall stack of documents on his desk.

It was a tower of manuscripts, clippings, lists, handwritten notes--Zall's entire Coleridge/Goethe/"Faust" translation journey.

Handing it over, Zall said to his young charge: "I bequeath this to you--Godspeed."
