Short Service:
Death on Yom Kippur“William D. Rogers, a lawyer who helped plan the Kennedy and Johnson
administrations’ approach to Latin America and then served as a
principal policymaker for the region during the Ford administration,
died Sept. 22 near his home in Upperville, Va. He was 80.Mr. Rogers, a devotee of fox hunting, died during a hunt after
suffering a heart attack while riding his favorite horse, Isaiah, his
son William said….His son William said his father was declared dead almost
immediately by a doctor participating in the fox hunt. An Episcopal
priest was called, the hounds were collected and the hunters gathered
for a short service on the spot.‘One by one, they rode past him and tipped their hats,’ William said.”
