He seemed like a decent guy, but then, politics seemed much less vicious back then. I wish comfort for his family.

Back then it was nightly news and waiting for the Sunday NYT to be tossed on my doorstep.

Time & Newsweek have private tantrums every day I'm sure when they contemplate what they have squandered and/or what has been taken from them, i.e., the privilege of telling the unwashed masses what to think. Just be glad we lived to see their demise.

Amen to that and by the way, the demise of the mainstream media is not over yet. They still have further to fall and it is only a matter of time before TIME and NEWSWEEK and the rest of their ilk go out of print entirely.

That time magazine is an awful picture. Here is a good one.

May he rest in peace.

by the time you reach 40, you do start feeling the lurking presence of the Reaper.

40??? That is much too young to feel the presence of the Reaper. I am older than that & I am just getting started. A wise old man told me once that you know you are getting old when you go to more funerals than weddings. I just don't go to funerals; so I'll never get old.

Back then it was the only in depth news source available. Even as a kid of 12 years old, I would stay up a Saturday night and wait for the NYT to arrive. By the time I was in college I would drink on Saturday night and wait for the NYT to arrive.

Even back then it was leftist but it had more information than any other source.

He was a decent man. He and Pat Caddell are two of the good guys among the old Democrats. I'm glad his suffering is over.

Jordan’s contribution to the ‘76 campaign was in helping Carter secure the Democratic nomination. After Ford’s truncated term (in which he pardoned Nixon) there wasn’t much doubt at all that the Dem nominee would go on to be President.
