Re: Re: Right you are, on both points.
I agree!  My daughter was majoring in journalism back in the years when Newt Gingritch was making noise, and she changed majors (to political science) when she realized she could not maintain the neutrality of journalistic integrity.

Re: Right you are, on both points.
Ciel, I am so glad that the reporters didn't offer any speculations as my daddy was a reporter of the old school and you just wrote who what when where why and how....without opinion nor speculation. Good reporting.

Right you are, on both points.

I'm just surprised the reporters didn't offer any speculations.

Re: The article offers no reason for it.
Oh and Ciel, I think that they are just desperately trying to end their own agony and are not thinking of others at all, they can't as other voices are drowned out in the noisy whirlpool of agony that holds them.

Re: The article offers no reason for it.

Ciel, it is too soon to know. His wife found him and is surely too devastated to talk.

Brilliance like his is a delicate thing  with flashing highs and lows and his lows could have been much too low to survive.

The article offers no reason for it.
Those who commit suicide lose touch with the simple fact that no one exists in a vacuum, that their action will hurt more than themselves.
