Rest In Peace, Ingrid.

David Nolan Dies

David Nolan, whose opposition to the Vietnam War and President Richard M. Nixon’s wage and price controls impelled him in 1971 to join with a few friends to found the Libertarian Party to fight against government power, died Sunday in Tucson. He was 66.

Mark Hinkle, chairman of the party’s national committee, said Mr. Nolan appeared to have had a heart attack or stroke while driving his car. He lived in Tucson.

He is survived by his wife, Elizabeth.

Rest In Peace, David.

Hugh Prather Dies

Hugh Prather, a self-help author whose first book, “Notes to Myself,” put an aphoristic finger on the pulse of the ’70s, has sold more than five million copies and inspired the long-running “Saturday Night Live” segment “Deep Thoughts,” died on Nov. 15 at his home in Tucson. He was 72.

Mr. Prather died in his hot tub, apparently of a heart attack, his wife, Gayle, said.

Besides his wife, the former Gayle Halligan, whom he married in 1965, he is survived by their sons, John and Jordan; a son from his first marriage, Scott; two half-siblings, Alan Prather and Joan Prather; a stepbrother, Jeffrey Prather; and a grandchild.

Rest In Peace, Hugh.
