Elizabeth Wurtzel(1967-2020)

Graduated from Harvard, where she wrote for The Harvard Crimson and received the 1986 Rolling Stone College Journalism Award.

On the 9/11 destruction of the World Trade Centre, in February 2002: "I had not the slightest emotional reaction. I thought: 'This is a really strange art project.' It was a most amazing sight in terms of sheer elegance. It fell like water. It just slid, like a turtleneck going over someone's head...I just felt, like, everyone was overreacting. People were going on about it. That part really annoyed me."
