Great story. Yeah, yeah - we all know it's better not to get too tight and be an asshole. That isn't what this story is about; that's how he got the story.

It's stories like this that illustrate the distinction between print editions and online reporting and why the latter is gaining the edge.

I think most Americans might be surprised at the extent to which the English hold us in contempt (although anyone paying attention on this side of the pond feels the same about Blair for being so complicit and adding legitimacy to the Iraq bebacle), and how average Iranians (non-jihadis) don't.

Good work.

I've often wondered what Bobby Kennedy thought after the assassination and what he personally investigated.

I also think the time is right to explore this subject since Castro may not be around much longer and we Americans might want to be more aware of the demands being made by various anti-Castro groups and how they're lobbying our government on what to do on the occasion of his death. I'm no fan of Castro, but after witnessing American foreign policy in tatters, I have little confidence that we will be judicious or effective.

With all of the information I've read and heard over the years, I think that Oswald was the lone shooter, but I don't think he acted alone and I do think CIA agents were involved.

Of course it still matters.

I've been a Mac user most of my life and I personally find their product more intuitive. I was an art major and most art departments still use Mac's. It was when I was running my own business that I discovered the purpose of a PC - accounting, databases, etc. One is great for creating and the other is great for tracking.

Now I have one of each and enjoy the best of both worlds. I highly recommend it - the computers last longer and there is no down time.

I don't think people have been this agitated over the ending to a television series since The Prisoner, which in some ways was so similar, I almost expeted to hear "the hip bone's connected to the thigh bone..." playing over the credits.

Chase played on the philosophy of dualism throughout the series - the Western idea of opposites and the Eastern idea of co-existance (and karma) - so the revelation to me was in the Hal Holbrook character attempting to explain the physics of the boxing match.

So we leave the Soprano's sitting down to onion rings instead of baked ziti. Made in America.

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.

Great story. I love chocolate so much I can't eat Hershey's or Mars. (Kind of makes me sad because the founder of Hershey's sounds like he was a great guy.) My father was a candy distributor when I was a child and I'll never forget the wonderful chocolates we would receive from around the world during holiday season. I'll be on the lookout for Grenada Chocolate Company - I'd love to try it.

It would be fabulous to see a company like Grenada Chocolate team up with the Ohio airship people (who are developing the Dynalifter) for distribution their product.

Better ideas and products are being developed and I'm hopeful that a lot of people will soon recognize the banality of maintaining the status quo and begin to break with tired old routines for more satisfying experiences.

Tony didn't get whacked. You didn't see him get whacked, you didn't hear him get whacked, it didn't happen.

I'm writing this from Tucson, Arizona where Joe Bonanno, one of the original Five Families, lived to the age of 97, dying of natural causes.

Also, this wasn't just a television show about the mob. Like every great television series, the human condition was explored on more than a superficial level.

The writing, acting and production of this show is as sophisticated as it gets and the fact that the debate about the final show continues serves as proof.

Rather than conspiracy theories, it would be interesting to know why people need confirmation that Tony died from a hit?

Why is that so important?

Bush has been revealed as unraveled for some time now. He can't handle the pressure of being president and it shows. He can't claim a single victory other than managing to get the office and stay in it. That's it.

I'm so sick of this clown and the gaggle of morons with whom he has surrounded himself. The Bush team isn't our best and brightest - not by a long shot. And maybe that's their biggest crime, the fact that they're so utterly stupid.

There is something almost Shakespearean about LBJ's decline and Nixon's resignation. But somehow, this priviledged brat has allowed himself to be managed into a position representing the worst of the Johnson and Nixon administrations. Who could have imagined that anyone would aspire to such dismal depths? Rove? Cheney? Wow - there's real vision. Nothing Shakespearean about Bush - he's a boob.

Villify these flacid fools for not being smart enough, savvy enough, or charming enough to accomplish a single thing other than keeping secrets and getting us involved in a war with no plan. No f@%*ing plan.

As far as picking on a 13-year-old girl - somebody told him to pick on somebody his own size so he did.

I thought Brooks owned a Victrola.

I think when we heard those gloriously goofy mash notes she sent to junior we knew Harriet "wasn't there". That she's maintaining the status quo surprises no one.

I agree with the previous letter writer who posted something about standing back and giving them more rope with which to hang their deluded selves.
