Sympathy
Peggy Noonan has a gracious, balanced and I suspect correct ode to Dan Rather and his career.
People are complicated, careers are complicated, motives are complicated. Dan Rather did some great work on stories that demanded physical courage. He loved the news, and often made it look like the most noble of enterprises. He had guts and fortitude.

The old hegemony has given way. The old dominance is over. Good thing. Great thing. Onward

Murderous London

Perry DeHavilland has much more insight into the problem, as he relates a tragedy that happened to his neighbor.
