Russell was one of the biggest monster men I have ever seen in my life. Like Shaq and Ed "Too Tall" Jones. He was a giant of a man. And he played his game to perfection for decades. What a life.

As soon as you said Wally Cleaver his image popped into my mind. It's funny to me how many actors (many of whom I liked watching) that I only know by the names of their characters. And there are only a few rock bands that I know all the member's names. I'm good with insect scientific names, but have to look up the English names for all but common and local species.
Thanks for posting all these. It's nice to mark the passing of people who touched our culture, especially through art and science.Stop Tzar Vladimir the Condemned!

He was the voice of the Dodgers for 67 years.
Vin Scully, legendary Dodgers broadcaster, dies at age 94 What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness. If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie? |

She was an amazing woman - fought long and hard and survived cancer into her 70s - hats off to her.
(I was more of a Mary Stuart Masterson fan from her Some Kind of Wonderful days, but I was very much into Olivia too).Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?

OMG She died? She seemed eternally young. I remember her in that tight black suit in Grease. Man, I'm getting old!
Edited by Phat, : added video clip "A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox “A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” “The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You
