This is a lovely piece on a cultural icon; I thought others in my age range would enjoy reading.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.

Re: Michael J. Fox abides
Yes there was a piece in the NYT from a week ago - also occasioned by the publication of his memoir - which I saw this morning. He was never someone on my list of actors who would attract me to a movie, but he has borne his illness with grace and strength. He gives the credit to his wife. I recall when Rush Limbaugh accused him of hyping his Parkinson's symptoms. I hope the day comes that the great majority of us recognizes that being accused by Limbaugh of something is a badge of honor.

Oh I want to read that book — especially as an optimist. I’m very interested in his take. Thanks for the share, had not heard about it before.
What strength he has.
