5 Senior Fellow Constantine America’s Menges Mourned Inadvertent Empire

Hudson Institute Senior Fellow Constantine C. Menges, Ph.D., passed away on July 11th from complications of can- cer. He was 64 years of age. Dr. Menges was an indispensable member of the Hudson Institute family, joining Hudson for the first time as a gradu- ate student at Columbia University, as a researcher at Hudson’s original location in Croton-on-Hudson, New York. At a July 16 memorial service Ambassador Curtin Winsor, a Hudson trustee, eulogized Menges as “almost alone in warning that Iran would pose a major threat to post-Saddam Iraq, a year before the Second Iraq War. He long foresaw the dangers to democratic prospects in Latin America from the Foro do Sao Paolo, the alliance of Chavez in Venezuela, Castro in Cuba and Lula in Brazil. He warned us that this dark alliance would endan- ger the South American conti- nent and Mexico.
