It is easy, but no less unforgiveable, to see how this […]
[…] with the dark side of American history will be missed by senior colleagues and younger protégés alike. Yes, ‘colorful’ and ‘unforgettable’ are words that come instantly to mind, but ‘committed’ is more important, and ‘permanent state of indignation’ is best of all.

Not that they and their associates don’t have past form when it comes to helping family members into the next world.
