April 10, 20196 yr Charles Van Doren, the most elegant crook of all time (?) died today at 93. Chuck became (in)famous by allowing himself to get answers and prompts from the show's producers on the popular (late 50's) game show '21' and guarantee himself a long run on the show. He was a New England blueblood, an academic, and had the looks that got the 50's coochies all wet and stuff, so they wanted him to keep winning. Eventually he 'fessed all and retired quietly to author some books or somesuch. Played by Ralph Fiennes in the pretty good movie "Quiz Show" about 20 years ago. So Chuck, what's the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Don't peek! RIP. Edited April 10, 20196 yr by phdhorn

November 21, 20196 yr With about 40 days left in her year, this has seemed like a fairly slow year for famous people dying. It hasn’t been zero but the names have been a bit less familiar.
