Above the Fold Indeed!

This is from the Memorial Service for John Leonard.

Read all of it and get a look at the personal John Leonard not just the public face.

I so admired him. Every time we spoke he would tell me how many days it had been since he last had a cigarette. I am so glad that he lived to see Obama elected President. I still cry when I think about it. But then he always hung in there.

Someone out there has my autographed copy of Smoke and Mirrors: Violence, Television and other American Cultures. I need it now more than ever.
