Bam has been granted a monitored visitation to see his son for christmas, he's also been sober for over 100 days.

Jimmy Carter looks half-dead, so I'm guessing his other half will be the next hit.

Apart from Kaczynski that was a stupid drop, they just got really unlucky with Berlusconi, Gambon and Crosby. They seemed like sensible drops at the time and they weren't that old. Still, we may get 20 hits again, there are enough old and ill picks for 2 to die in the following weeks.

The first woman on the Supreme Court, Sandra Day O'Connor, is the next hit here. O'Connor served as majority leader in the Arizona Senate, and was nominated to the Supreme Court by Ronald Reagan in 1981. During her tenure she was considered as a "swing vote", since she was able to side with both the liberal and conservative sides of the Supreme Court. O'Connor is a hit for @The Daredevil @Dying Probably and @DeathBecomesThem, DP is now at second place with 19 points, while DBT stays at first place with 25 points.

Henry Kissinger, a legend of diplomacy to some, a monstrous war criminal to others, is a surprising unique hit in this game. Just like previous hit Ahtisaari, he was a Nobel peace prize winning diplomat. The thousands of deaths that were caused by the numerous dictatorships that he supported and the brutal bombing of Cambodia surely don't make him worthy of the accolade. But opening relations with China was good, I guess. Former host @Dying Probably gets 4 points (3 for position + 1 for a unique pick) with the death of the realpolitik afficionado, and now sits in third place with 15 points.
