I just read that...sad. He was ill for a very long time with cancer. I guess he preferred to keep it quiet.

Timeline the book was so much better than Timeline the movie.

<<<< moved to Entertainment thread.

Yes, it could probably be International (where it was), but as an entertaining writer...I figured this might be a more appropriate resting place.

If it was Michael Crichton releases a new book, that would be Entertainment.

ya know.. oddly enough... every time I have heard his last name I have automatically thought of lung cancer... no idea why... the name just sounds like a lung cancer to me.

Is there some reason you feel this is not news?

I thought what's happening is more for what's happening around the site....

Actually I feel it's not "International News".

It's a writer who died. He's an entertainer. Would be the same as if Clint Eastwood died, or if Sean Connery were in the hospital with cancer.

I had moved the thread early enough (only 3 posts I think) to provide a more suitable location.

The same as others posted in this thread of others being sick, dead, or arrested.

The latest move to "What's Happening" was more of a joke...and to be annoying Wink.

I don't think it would be very popular...would probably become a dead topic.
