4. I wondered why I didn't see him when I turned on a particular show the other day. He will

be missed, I've enjoyed his thoughtful, and carefully worded analysis every week for years, Shields and Brooks.

RIP indeed. RIP.

I had no idea he was 85. What a wonderful life he had. May he RIP and condolences to his family.
