  • A much better tribute than that of the Today show. Please enjoy my own remarks at rantingsofaquadragenerian.blog­spot

  • Unutterable sadness, that John Updike has left us. He can't be replaced and I, for one, feel the loss keenly. William F. Buckley died last February...and now John Updike. I grieve for the world at large, without their gifts and wisdom and gentlemanliness.
