Well, it wouldn't be the first time I've been publicly wrong on this
mailing list. (I don't read "Forbes", I get my data from computer
magazines, the Newark Star-Ledger and [when I'm faxing resumes] the
NYTimes -- though on occasion I've paused for a minute when flipping
channels if the news sounded interesting or amusing). I do recall
that the first time I heard about Gary's death was a few months after
the fact.

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
Michael Flynn, _Rogue Star_
