Rest.

WaPo's Marc Fisher reprints a long article, first printed ten years ago, about radio broadcaster Paul Harvey. He died yesterday at 90. Worth a read.

-as is this profile of Harvey's wife, an influential figure in radio on her own.

    I remember listening to Paul Harvey a bit growing up. I know my parents were big fans.

    If I was presenting a position on something or other to my Dad, he would listen and nod and say, Uh-Huh, and then he would often ask,

    "But then, what is the REST of the story?"

    I think that may have turned me into the curmudgeon that I am. But it is a good lesson to go beyond the headlines and get all the facts that you can.

    An institution, to be sure. I fear that there is not one who is close to replacing him in this day and age.

    Oh, maybe Rush (snark).
