I remember him strangely enough from All Things Considered, which I listened to fairly regularly back in the 70s.

Never heard of him sucks though Alzheimer's disease has to be one of it not the most horrible things that can happen to a person.

Yes, the Illuminati have been busy.

All kidding aside, isnt it strange that the deaths of famous people seems to come in clusters so much?

I read an article a while back that said that random events do tend to cluster and they went in to mathematics way over my head to explain it, but it seems that truly random events cluster and even distribution is suggestive of not being truly random.

But these people have given us many days of entertainment, taken our mind off our troubles and lowered our stress and I think God likely has a special reward for them if they are not somehow evil in their heart.
