    Political Frailty

    Former Uruguay president (and beloved dictator) Gregorio "Goyo" Alvarez is on ventilator suffering from heart failure. He was reported to be dead yesterday, but it turned out he is alive and in critical conditions. He has been in hospital for months, but his conditions took a turn for the worst two days ago. http://www.elpais.com.uy/informacion/gregorio-alvarez-continua-delicado-salud.html

    Mario Soares is feeling better and had a good improvement yesterday. It seems he will be out of intensive therapy in a few days. All good for the old man! http://tomartvinfo.com/2016/12/16/m-rio-soares-h-ind-cios-de-retoma-de-consci-ncia/

    Cheers, Death Impends. From the moment I saw Hechler's name I knew you were going to win. I mean, this guy has been in hospice care for months! Anyway I fear my own pick could cheat us like A. A. Gill before New Year's Eve....

    I'm 20/50. Still I think I'll get one/two more hits before the end of the year and there will be a last big death in 2016.

    Hollywood Possibilities

    I've seen that movie. Rev. Harry Powell was a nasty character and I think he could be considered the archetype for Max Cady of Cape Fear. Mitchum was a natural born villain.
