    If I read that piece correctly ("Today is the day I have chosen to pass away with dignity in the face of my terminal illness, this terrible brain cancer that has taken so much from me - but would have taken so much more.") her death was a case of euthanasia/assisted suicide. Half a year ago she advised Brittany Maynard against such an end. I conclude that that woman subscribed to the moral school of "Do as I say, not as I do". Such hypocrisy isn't rare in Xians. Let me assure you all, there is absolutely NO fucking dignity in death, none whatsoever. The only thing that death does is reaffirm the utter absurdity of life.

Indeed (sorry that's not much but I noticed I was on 99 posts).

    Statistics. The point is not perhaps so much that they die in "the" year they aren't on the list but more "a" year they aren't. CBA to do the sums on this particularly, but it's the same sort of thing that makes it apparently weird that it only takes 23 people in a room for it to be 50/50 on two of them having the same birthday. I should also add that DL has a self-imposed rule that allows only 25 picks of the previous list to be chosen each year, which increases the chance of such misses.

    While he was no saint, don't forget that in his times, much more was at stake in foreign policy than the reputation of the U.S. Just 7 years before Nixon came to power, the world almost faced a catastrophic nuclear war during the Cuban Missle Crisis. The détente under Nixon and Ford at least meant that direct confrontation between the Soviets and the West became a lesser threat. As for his support for bloody coups and not-so-democratic regimes, please don't forget that at that time, "winning" the cold war was seen as a matter of life and death (and losing it certainly was the primary reason behind the Soviet Union's demise), so it's not surprising that he wasn't particularly picky when he chose his allies. And winning China over was certainly a diplomatic feat that he can be proud of.
