<<I completely agree with you.  Unfortunately he's able to convince an

writing about.  I don't believe either about him.  Pseudo-controversy with a 
smug smirk on the side is how I'd call his game.>>

I knew I'd be called on that line.  But if really smart, why resort to the 
easy insincere?  Is it for the money?  Or has he FULLY accepted his 
limitations.  Fun is fun, but real wit, that equal to his cover-mate Twain, 
goes beyond such insincerity and last through the ages.

>Acid Test or The Right Stuff.  It's great writing.

OK, but the rest just drags his legacy down.
