Good God, that is a bizarre story.

This was the OJ case of it's day. Except Lawrencia didn't start out as a celebrity. I'm always intrigued by people who don't know where the freezer compartment on their own refrigerator is, who decide they just "know" somebody's been the victim of a miscarriage. Or the idiot women who marry death row inmates. There was the time Geraldo asked Bruce Lee's little brother if he was satisfied by the coroner's report on his brother's death. Yeah, like that kid had read the report, and would understand it if he had.

I followed the link to the obit for "Bambi" Bembenek out of curiosity and saw a link for the obit of Hugh Hickey. What is interesting about Hugh Hickey is that he was one of the doctors who was the inspiration for the novel "MASH: A Novel About Three Army Doctors" by H. Richard Hornberger, who wrote under the pseudonym Richard Hooker. Fascinating with some interesting photos.

Rob Lytle :(

Rob Lytle, an All-American running back at Michigan who scored a touchdown in the 1978 Super Bowl as a Denver Broncos rookie, has died. He was 56.

He had a heart attack Saturday night in Fremont, Ohio, Memorial Hospital spokeswoman Chasity O'Neill said Sunday. Lytle had been taken by ambulance to the hospital with symptoms of a heart attack, she added.

Very true-Hornberger actually wrote MASH in collaboration with Wilfred C. Heinz ( a great writer who wrote Run To Daylight -about the Packers and Vince Lombardi, also wrote the Professional-a boxing novel and Emergency about the Medical Profession and a busy hospital emergency room)-I met him as he was researching Emergency and followed me around the ER at Albany Medical Center for a couple months. They chose the name Richard Hooker for MASH to represent the 2 of them. Heinz passed away in 2008 at the age of 93.
 
Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

MASH (the book) is hilarious black comedy. One thing that's striking is how all the characters, Hawkeye in particular, soften from book to movie to early series to late series. Put it this way, the way Hawkeye is written in the book aint Alan Alda. He aint even Donald Sutherland. He's a lot darker and more bitter, and a lot more of a con artist. He's a charming rat, but he's still a rat.

Probably why I never really got into the TV series. I was a big fan of the movie and loved the book.

I read MASH, Catch-22, and Breakfast of Champions for the first time during my first bleak winter in Ithaca, so I will always associate them with slush, differential equations, aching glutes, and hangovers. :)

Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

My aunt Marcella passed away today at 94. She was my mom's last living sibling. My mom said that she had told her that she has had a good life but it's not so great when your health goes. The last year wasn't good. RIP Marcella.
 
Re: BRING OUT YOUR DEAD (Part Whatever)

Sorry for your loss. I am always amazed to think of the changes people who live that long have seen. My uncles mother lived til 106. Again sorry to hear.
