Erich Segal died this past Sunday at 72 . A Yale classics professor, he also wrote the bestselling book and award winning screenplay for "Love Story"-a film Vanity Fair called, "the first of the modern-day blockbusters"-which popularized the catchphrase "Love means never having to say you’re sorry." The male protagonist Oliver Barrett IV was modeled on a combination of then Harvard students, Tommy Lee Jones and Al Gore.
