...Sing heartfelt farewells to Israel "Cachao" Lopez, 89, the Cuban-born pioneer of mambo music; to classic one-hit wonder Jody Reynolds, 75, whose Endless Sleep had a suicide theme and haunting guitar thrum; to Eddy Arnold, 89, country music's chart-topping "Tennessee Plowboy" whose early career was managed by Elvis' Svengali, Col. Tom Parker; to Jerry Reed, 71, the Nashville session guitarist with the foolin'-around grin, who became a country star with When You're Hot, You're Hot, and played Burt Reynolds' rowdy pal in Gator and Smokey and the Bandit; and to Larry Levine, indispensible...

Each of them set up a business that, massive and complex as it was, could be replicated and run by others...
...mind, then he should ensure that the legitimacy of the state’s senate seat is undisputed, even if this means relinquishing his nomination. Sadly, it seems that Burris will continue in his refusal to subordinate his own political ambitions to this higher end. Indeed, one must wonder whether Blagojevich selected Burris knowing that he was one of the few candidates who would accept the nomination from an allegedly corrupt governor. We are therefore thankful that Illinois’ secretary of state could block the nomination in his refusal to certify it. While the secretary should not have veto...
