Janis and the Empathy Effect

Janis Roth was one of my elementary school classmates. At Westminster School, we lined up alphabetically. I was always behind her in line—Rothman directly following Roth. She was smart, sweet, pretty, and slender. Although we regarded each other fondly, Janis and I never became close friends, and lost touch after school ended. Today, I think about Janis’s untimely death and the Empathy Effect.
