Zigler, a psy- chologist who in the mid- 1960s helped design Head Start, the vanguard federal government program for preschool children, died Thursday at his home in North Haven, Conn. He was 88. His death was confirmed by his son, Scott, who said the cause was complica- tions of coronary artery disease. Zigler was an early cham- pion of guaranteed time off from work for new parents, the teaching of child-rear- ing skills to teenagers and the integration of health and social service pro- grams and day care into neighborhood public school buildings. But he was probably best known as one of the archi- tects of Head Start, which began as a summer pro- gram under President Lyn- don B.

War on Poverty. More than 35 mil- lion children have been en- rolled since 1965 in the program, which provides early education and medi- cal services to about a mil- lion children under 5 years old annually and costs about $10 billion a year. When it was first pro- posed, the program had its critics, some of whom even called it a communist plot to take children from their parents and to destabilize the American family by en- couraging women to work outside the home. But child care later be- came a necessity for more working parents.

Slotnik New York Times Manfred Eigen, who shared the 1967 Nobel Prize in chemistry for devising a method to time chemical re- actions that had been thought too swift to mea- sure, died Feb. 6 in at his home in Gottingen, Ger- many.

He was 91. His death was confirmed by the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Research, which Eigen founded in 1971. Eigen was a young scientist at the University of Gottingen in the early 1950s when, while studying extremely rapid chemical reactions some- times faster than a billionth of a second he decided to fig- ure out a way to time them. He had been inspired, and vexed, by a line in a textbook that described certain chemi- cal reactions as ably was then at the age when one accepts practically noth- ing unquestioned, and so I started to reflect on just how fast an re- action might Eigen re- called in his Nobel lecture. He realized the best way to calculate the infinitesimal time it took for a reaction to occur was to start with a chemical system in a state of equilibrium and then per- turb the system with a quick burst of energy, like high-fre- quency sound.

The chemi- cal system would soon relax back into stability, and he reasoned that scientists could measure details like the speed by ob- serving the energy the sys- tem absorbed as it returned to equilibrium. The process was called chemical relaxation, and its development earned Eigen a share of the 1967 Nobel with Ronald G.W. Norrish and George Porter, who devised a technique to set off and study chemical reactions us- ing flashes of light. research helped chemists gain a much greater understanding of en- zymes, biologically critical substances that catalyze specific chemical reactions, among other things. After Eigen won the prize, he advocated an interdisci- plinary approach to scien- tific inquiry, which he pursued by combining two Max Planck institutes, one devoted to physical chemis- try and the other to spectros- copy, to create the Institute for Biophysical Chemistry near the central city of Got- tingen, then in West Ger- many.

The integration of different specialties and techniques has since be- come commonplace in the life sciences, and it informed much of later work. In recent decades he fo- cused on the chemical ori- gins of life, studying topics like the perplexing biologi- cal nature of viruses, the self-organization of matter and the applicability of Dar- winian ideas about evolu- tion to the molecular level. His ideas helped create evo- lutionary biotechnology, a new branch of the field.

CAROL F. REICH 1935-2019 Philanthropist, educator pioneered charter schools By Sam Roberts New York Times Carol F. Reich, a philan- thropist and late-blooming educator who, with her hus- band, helped pioneer the charter school movement in New York City in the early 1990s, died on Feb. 5 in Mi- ami. She was 83.

Her death was confirmed by her daughter Janet Reich Elsbach. Capping their quixotic bu- reaucratic odyssey Reich described themselves as in she and her husband, Joseph, opened an experi- mental public elementary school in 1992 in a former pharmaceutical factory in Williamsburg, N.Y. What became known as the Beginning With Children Charter School was run by trustees selected from among parents, community leaders and educators. It chose stu- dents by lottery and reported directly to the schools chan- cellor instead of district offi- cials. By 1997, Beginning With Children was being hailed as the most improved ele- mentary school.

Beginning With Children and a handful of others that started out as district schools operated with many of the prerogatives that the state Legislature, inspired in part by the success, granted in 1998 to privately operated charter schools, which are publicly funded but run independently from local school districts. The school was a hybrid. It became a fully in- dependent charter school in 2001, but its teachers re- mained members of the city- wide union. Friction with the union was one of several conflicts that developed, which eventually led the Re- foundation to sever its ties with the school in 2012. (The school closed in 2016 after the Department of Edu- cation said it was performing poorly.) The Be- ginning With Children Char- ter School 2 now occupies the same space.

Carol Elaine Friedman was born on Dec. 26, 1935, in Chicago to Dr. Townsend Baer Friedman, an allergist, and Corinne (Neuberger) Friedman, a homemaker. In 1955 she married Joseph H. Reich, whom she met while studying fine arts at Cornell University.

In 1961 they moved to New York, where he started an invest- ment firm, Reich Tang. In addition to their daugh- ter Janet, her husband survives her, as do their daughter Marcia Reich Walsh and six grandchil- dren. Another daughter, Deborah Reich, died in 2013. When her youngest daughter began kindergar- ten, Carol Reich returned to school and earned a bache- degree in psychology from New York University and a from the City University of New York, where she went on to re- ceive a doctorate in devel- opmental psychology. From 1988 to 1992, she was the president of the Lexington School Center for the Deaf.

Through Eugene Have a program, the couple promised in 1988 to pay for the college educa- tion of a class of sixth-grad- ers if they stayed in school. But they discovered that the challenges children faced in impoverished neighborhoods went be- yond education. not about how many kids go to she told City Journal, a magazine published by the Manhattan Institute, in 1994. about how many kids are Joseph Reich suggested they start their own school, incorporating health care and other services. both shared a com- mon and basic belief: Fami- lies of means can afford to send their children to pri- vate schools or relocate to an affluent neighborhood where public schools have greater the cou- ple said in their mission statement.
