Dipping into The Heath Anthology of American Literature, I came across the following in the biographical and critical introduction to the William Faulkner included piece:
"He travelled widely for the state department and eventually accepted a position at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville...but his death from a heart attack put an end to all his plans in 1962."
Death has a tendency to do that all right. You arsehole Faulkner - you and your plans.

i seem to remember he declined to attend JFK's inauguration saying simply: "I don't like crowds."
A good answer, especially if read in conjunction with Robert Frost's inauguration poem for JFK.
