###  The main thing that stands out in my long list of memories of Sid is the astonishing way he built and managed collaborations over his 60 years of co-authorship. Never once did he do any of the standard things that make trouble for such relationships. In fact, with humor and reason, he worked to get those standard human things -- anger, resentment, selfishness, meanness, irritation, envy, and the like -- out of the way entirely. That character and organizational capacity gave him power. Of course, I also remember the way he started back to his two-finger typing before the person he'd just met with was out of the room. And I remember those astonishingly garlicky chicken shawarma sandwiches he loved. I was lucky in my time with him.
