The passing of giants, part 2
Utah

J.D. Williams (1926-2007) long-serving University of Utah professor and the founding director of the Hinckley Institute of Politics, serving from 1965 to 1975, also passed away in September.

For decades, when an astute and informed political opinion was sought in Utah, the man who got the call was J.D. Williams.

He was a professor of politics at the University of Utah, first director of the university's Hinckley Institute of Politics, a candidate for both national and state offices and confidante and adviser to many of the state's leading politicians.
