Willis Reed, who was the beating heart of the champion Knicks, dies at 80
One of the lamer legendary NBA stories. Dude gets injured in Game 5 of the finals, sits Game 6, and then plays for a few minutes and scores 4 points in Game 7.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

Just looked it up - he went 2 for 5 from the field, grabbed three boards in 27 MINUTES.

My ass. How about someone that actually produces? Walt Frazier busted his ass off that night with 36 points, 19 assists, and 7 boards yet people only ever want to talk about the unproductive invalid.

When the legend becomes fact, print the legend.

67 too young. Did seem like a sweet guy. Battersea Dogs home are going to miss him. RIP.

Plus Talking Heads, and pursued US distribution of UK groups like the Smiths and the Cure. Supposedly coined "new wave" to rid Talking Heads of the nasty punk label and get airplay.

Horrible for John, but merciful for Nora—dementia is not life in any meaningful sense. Hopefully his grieving period can bring him insight and greater compassion for others.
