Re: In Memoriam
Legendary author Joan Didion has died at age 87, from complications due to Parkinson's. This hurts especially as she is a personal favorite--Slouching Toward Bethlehem and The Year of Magical Thinking are both fantastic.

A towering figure. Together with Mandela, and one man that I believe has been slightly forgotten, Bantu Stephen Biko.
May the universe welcome him.

Re: In Memoriam
This is wonderful.
They behave as if they've been close friends since they were 3 years old.
Two men of principle. We've been very fortunate to have them in our lifetime - and we should cherish them in life and in death, for persons of principle are becoming more and more rare.

Re: In Memoriam
Wow. Major loss for football, indeed. As some people say, he was the face of the game for several generations.

When I think of a great football coach I think of Madden not Lombardi. May he RIP.
