Bill Walsh, copy editor and witty authority on language, dies at 55 - Washington Post

Monday, March 27, 2017

By Adam Bernstein, Bill Walsh, a Washington Post copy editor who wrote three irreverent books about his craft, noting evolutions and devolutions of language, the indispensability of hyphens and his hostility toward semicolons, and distinctions — for the sake of clarity — between Playboy Playmates and Playboy Bunnies, died March 15 at a hospice center in Arlington, Va. He was 55.The cause was complications from bile-duct cancer, said his wife, Jacqueline Dupree, a Post informational technology specialist.In the hurly-burly of a newsroom, where even the best reporters have widely varying degrees of grammatical competence, copy editors are the often unheralded guardians of language and common sense. They are the front-line mud soldiers in an endless war against bad spelling, ill-considered sentence construction and factual errors. They prevent English teachers everywhere from wincing. They save behinds.By many accounts, Mr. Walsh stood at the zenith of his profession. Mary Norris, the recently retired New Yorker...

Monday, March 13, 2017

Antitrypsin Deficiency (Alpha-1) have lost a key ally in the fight to bring awareness and find a cure for the deadly lung disease.Businessman John Walsh, co-founder of the COPD Foundation and the Alpha-1 Foundation and AlphaNet, died Wednesday as the result of injuries he suffered in a fall more than a year ago on an icy street in Washington. He was 68.“John was, in fact, a super achiever and a legend in the world of COPD and the genetic form called Alpha-1,” said Bob Campbell, Alpha-1 communications director. “An absolute legend in the field of patient advocacy,” Mark Boutin, CEO of the National Health Council, said in a statement.In 1989, Walsh was a member of a small group of people — less than 5,000 at the time — who had been diagnosed with Alpha-1, a genetic condition that had caused the COPD that plagued not only Walsh, but his twin brother Fred, sister Susan, and their mother, who died at 46 from the disease.COPD has been diagnosed in at least 12 million people in the United States and is the third most common cause of death in the country, according to the American Lung Association. Although it is often called a “smoker’s disease,” many people who have COPD never smoked. Ther...
