Is it just me, or are public figures dropping like flies lately?

*nods* This year's been a pretty crap year for that so far. Look at Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson going the same day. That was wretched right there.

Seriously. And now Cronkite. Oy.

Breaking news, very sad. And the timing is interesting - his commentary on the moon landing, and the landing itself, are among my earliest memories. It celebrates its 40th anniversary as he passes.

They were showing footage of him during the lunar landing, and he was just awed and gleeful about the whole thing. It was almost adorable.

Next up is Frank McCourt, most likely. :(
