This is the great gift of the Bush administration, that apathy has fallen by the way side; citizens are once again active in government. This is George Bush's legacy.
What I remember most about that day was every time Newman had a break in filming he would come over, sit down nearby, and perform goofy tricks for me.
It will be a long time before we can fully absorb what a loss his death has been.
Paul Newman was beautiful. You could never root against him. It might have been easier for him to sink into villainy if he wore dull-colored contact lenses, to blunt the brilliance of his eyes, to hide the twinkle.
While Wallace understood well the solipsism of depression -- see "The Depressed Person" -- he himself evinced none of it, in spite of his affliction.
Nancy and I celebrated every day. We made our marriage a daily commitment. We had fun, grew wiser, struggled, laughed, collected, built, moved, nurtured, spat, loved and lost as all of us do.
For Braves fans, he was the best and funniest of us all; for fans of opposing teams, he was serious about the sport and irreverent about everything in it.
For other classes, I bought $80 textbooks geared for the AP exam. In Steve's class, I received handouts from century-old Russian books because he said they taught logarithms better before the fall of the tsar.

Here we have a raft of errors that took over eight months for the Times to correct, even though the deceased's son brought the errors to the attention of the paper twice during that time.
These tiny corrections are not as crucial as when the Times got Heston's name and age wrong, but nonetheless, they leave the paper with even more egg on its face.
Heston may have been lying about his age, but that's really where the crack reporting force at the Times might have done a touch of sleuthing. Or fact-checking.
It speaks well of us as a culture that a man's art should outlive his politics. Charlton Heston was one of our greatest stars, and his best movies will last forever.
