John cared about the underprivileged, John cared about serious political issues, John was wise, and no lightweight ? note that those are not policy wonks tromping through lower Manhattan to leave notes and flowers on John and Carolyn?s North Moore Street doorstep. Overwhelmingly, they are the ones who bought the publications that plastered his face on the front page, again and again, and told the stories of John-John and Madonna, John-John and Daryl Hannah, John...
