Keith Donnellan died yesterday. I have no more details. I'm sure there will
soon be some.

I'm afraid that JL's account is mostly mistaken.
'At Cornell, Max Black called Donnellan (who was his graduate student)
"Donnell'an". Donnellan was too shy to correct Black -- 'in awe' of Black,
even. (Donnellan's preferred, 'correct', pronunciation was, of course,
"Donn'ellan"). It was only when Donnellan moved to UCLA that the pronunciation
"Do'nnellan" became more standard: he was then allowed to set the record
straight.'
